"As soon as I saw Justin I knew he was suffering from kyphosis, a spinal disorder in which an excessive curve of the spine causes a bowing or rounding of the upper back," said Dr. Siambanes.

Key Points: 
  • "As soon as I saw Justin I knew he was suffering from kyphosis, a spinal disorder in which an excessive curve of the spine causes a bowing or rounding of the upper back," said Dr. Siambanes.
  • "An X-ray confirmed that he had a severe form of the disorder, known as Scheuermann's kyphosis."
  • According to Dr. Siambanes, normal vertebrae in the thoracic spine are rectangular-shaped and have a soft cushion disc between each one.
  • "Unlike a patient with the milder form of postural kyphosis, those with Scheuermann's kyphosis cannot correct their curve simply by trying to stand up straight."

Currently, physicians monitor patients with scoliosis an excessive curvature of the spine using x-rays for a period of many years.

Key Points: 
  • Currently, physicians monitor patients with scoliosis an excessive curvature of the spine using x-rays for a period of many years.
  • HSS researchers hope the results of the study will lead to an algorithm to estimate the curvature of the spine without the need for x-rays.
  • The 3dMD system combines information from 30 high-definition cameras to produce a full map of the torso in under a second.
  • If scoliosis is suspected, clinicians will try to determine the extent of the curvature mild, moderate or severe using x-rays.
