Comparison of the performance of a Three-Dimensional Body Scanner and radiography in evaluating adult scoliosis

The 3D body scanner exhibits promise for assessing spinal alignment and measuring the Cobb angle in patients with adult scoliosis, offering a reliable alternative to traditional radiographic methods. Its accuracy was not affected by obesity-related indices, supporting its applicability across diverse patient body types. Future research should focus on refining scanning protocols and integrating patient-reported outcomes to enhance clinical utility.
