Sensors (Basel). 2021 Dec 16;21(24):8410. doi: 10.3390/s21248410.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present diagnostic methods used in the diagnosis of scoliosis in the form of a brief review. This article aims to point out the advantages of select methods. This article focuses on general issues without elaborating on problems strictly related to physiotherapy and treatment methods, which may be the subject of further discussions. By outlining and categorizing each method, we summarize relevant publications that may not only help introduce other researchers to the field but also be a valuable source for studying existing methods, developing new ones or choosing evaluation strategies.

Keywords: artificial intelligence diagnosis; computer analysis; diagnostic imaging; scoliosis; spinal curvatures; spine.
