A Comparative Study on the Consistency of Ultrasound and X‐Ray in Assessing Risser Sign
Ultrasound is a reliable, radiation-free alternative to X-ray for assessing the Risser sign in AIS patients. Despite observed inconsistencies in intermediate Risser grades, ultrasound's ability to reduce radiation exposure and provide consistent results makes it a valuable tool in clinical practice. Further research is needed to optimize ultrasound techniques and explore its potential for early detection and intervention in scoliosis management.
