12. Mobile device-based surface topography is a better predictor of spinal deformity than scoliometer

Nonradiographic screening and diagnosis in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) currently relies on scoliometer. We hypothesized that white-light based 3D scanning could generate high quality 3D representations of surface anatomy using a mobile device and would provide better deformity assessments compared to scoliometers.
