An algorithm for using deep learning convolutional neural networks with three dimensional depth sensor imaging in scoliosis detection

Timely intervention in growing individuals, such as brace treatment, relies on early detection of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). To this end, several screening methods have been implemented. However, these methods have limitations in predicting the Cobb angle.
