The effect of added fat on the accuracy of Cobb angle measurements in CT SPR images: A phantom study
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a spinal deformity that mostly affects females aged between 10 and 17 years old. Cobb's method is the gold standard for assessing AIS. Being overweight is a common characteristic in AIS patients; therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect fat mass has on the accuracy of Cobb angle measurements in 10-year-old female AIS patients.
