Methods of assessing spinal radiographs in scoliosis are functions of its geometry.
The most important feature of scoliosis is the lateral curvature of the spine. It can be treated either conservatively or by surgery; however, treatment choice depends mainly on curve progression which is determined by frequent curve assessment. This is a review of methods of curve measurement and proof of the relationship between them.
