Objective: To discuss the values of different imagings in the morbidity of the structural scoliosis and guidance for the clinical course.Methods: A total of 155 cases of spine scoliosis underwent X radiography.Of them
69 cases also underwent with computed tomography(CT) and Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)
40 cases with CT
and 20 cases with heart ultrasound.Cases underwent CT further underwent the cured multiplanar reconstruction(CMPR) and volume reconstruction(VR).Results: A total of 81 cases are idiopathic scoliosis(IS)(52.3%
15 cases with congenital heart diseases)
60 cases are congenital spine scoliosis(38.7%
5 cases with congenital heart diseases)
and others are 14 cases(9.0%).Conclusion: At present
X-radiography、CT and MRI imaging are the most frequently used examining methods for spine scoliosis.Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.The selection of them should be according to the clinical conditions
which plays an important in the search for the causes of the spine scoliosis and comprehensive assessment in pre-operation or post-operation.
