Reliability and reproducibility analysis of the Cobb angle assessing by Computer-assisted and manual measurement tools

Reliability and reproducibility analysis of the Cobb angle and assessing sagittal plane by computer-assisted and manual measurement tools

BACKGROUND Although many studies on reliability and reproducibility of measurement have been performed on coronal Cobb angle, few results about reliability and reproducibility are reported on sagittal alignment measurement including the pelvis. We usually use SurgimapSpine software to measure the Cobb angle in our studies; however, there are no reports till date on its reliability and reproduci...

A Semi-Automatic Algorithm for Estimating Cobb Angle

Background: Scoliosis is the most common type of spinal deformity. A universal and standard method for evaluating scoliosis is Cobb angle measurement, but several studies have shown that there is intra- and inter- observer variation in measuring cobb angle manually.Objective: Develop a computer- assisted system to decrease operator-dependent errors in Cobb angle measurement.Methods: The spinal ...

اعتبار و تکرارپذیری Dual Digital Inclinometer در اندازه گیری زاویه کایفوز پشتی در زنان بالای 45 سال

Objective: Accurate measurement of thoracic kyphosis has high value in the evaluation of patients with spinal kyphosis and in assessing the effectiveness of different treatment methods. Recently, Dual Digital Inclinometer (DDI) has introduced as a non-invasive tool that can measure the kyphosis angle. According to available information there is only one published study regarding the validity an...

Computer-assisted algorithms improve reliability of King classification and Cobb angle measurement of scoliosis.

STUDY DESIGN Interobserver and intraobserver reliability study of improved method to evaluate radiographs of patients with scoliosis. OBJECTIVE To determine the reliability of a computer-assisted measurement protocol for evaluating Cobb angle and King et al classification. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Evaluation of scoliosis radiographs is inherently unreliable because of technical and human ...
