A computer program was created to identify and accept spatial data regarding the location of the thoracic and lumbar vertebral bodies on scoliosis films. With this information, the spine can be mathematically reconstructed and a scoliotic angle calculated. There was a 0.968 positive correlation between the computer and manual methods of measuring scoliosis. The computer method was more reproducible with a standard deviation of only 1.3 degrees. Computerized measurement of scoliosis also provides better evaluation of the true shape of the curve.
创建了一个计算机程序，用于识别和接受有关脊柱侧弯X光片中胸腰椎椎体位置的空间数据。利用这些信息，可以对脊柱进行数学重建并计算脊柱侧弯角度。计算机测量脊柱侧弯的方法与手动测量方法之间的正相关系数为0.968。计算机方法的重复性更好，标准差仅为1.3度。脊柱侧弯的计算机测量还能更好地评估曲线的真实形状。
