This 2012 Consensus paper reviews the literature on side effects of x-ray exposure in the
pediatric population as it relates to scoliosis evaluation and treatment. Alternative methods …

Study Design. Clinical trial comparing image quality and entrance dose between Biospace
EOS system, a new slot-scanning radiographic device, and a Fuji FCR 7501S computed …

The paper reviews the current imaging methods in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients
with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Radiography is generally used in the initial diagnosis of …

Full-spinal radiographs (FRs) are often the first choice of imaging modality in the
investigation of scoliosis. However, FRs are strongly related to breast cancer occurrence …

Background X-ray imaging is frequently used as diagnostic approach for scoliosis in
children and adolescents. X-ray procedures are considered as justified only when expected …

Study Design. A comparative study of radiation dose measured in anthropomorphic
phantoms. Objectives. The aim of this study was to first report the first organ dose and …

Purpose To compare radiation dose and image quality between a slot-scanning system
(SSS) and a dynamic flat-panel detector (DFD) in assessing scoliosis in children. Methods …

Background context The present literature on the cancer risks related to radiation exposure
in patients and surgeons during scoliosis surgery is sparse. Purpose To assess the radiation …

Background Over a lifetime of having radiographs, a patient with adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis (AIS) can be cumulatively exposed to high doses of ionizing radiation. Therefore …

Purpose The goal of this work is to evaluate organ doses and lifetime attributable risk of
cancer incidence and mortality in scoliosis examinations of adolescent patients performed …
