To explore the improvement effect of SLOT Scan technology (narrow seam exposure capture technology) and the radiography techniques on the quality of the scoliosis X-ray films in teenagers.
The Sonialvision Safire II equipment of Shimadzu corporation and SLOT Scan were applied to take the radiography for 60 patients taller than 1.50 metres. All the data were collected through a continual exposure, and the images were sewn up through a seamless connection software.
Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar and sacral segments could clearly present at the same time on one X-ray film by seamless splicing,and the quality of one time radiograph was as good as one film.
As a new radiology technique, SLOT Scan can wipe off splitting artifact effectively and make the whole spine seamless present on one X-ray film. It helps the spinal surgeons to observe, calculate and measure accurately. It is useful to choose the operation mode and judge the curative effect.
探讨SLOT扫描技术（窄缝曝光采集技术）及X线摄影技术对青少年脊柱侧弯X线片质量的改善效果。
应用岛津公司的Sonialvision Safire II设备及SLOT扫描技术，对60例身高超过1.50米的患者进行X线摄影。所有数据通过连续曝光采集，图像通过无缝拼接软件进行拼接。
通过无缝拼接，颈椎、胸椎、腰椎及骶椎节段可在一张X线片上同时清晰显示，一次摄影质量与一张胶片相同。
SLOT扫描作为一种新的放射学技术，能有效消除拼接伪影，使整个脊柱在一张X线片上无缝显示。有助于脊柱外科医生准确观察、计算和测量。对选择手术方式及判断疗效有帮助。
