title: Methods of assessing spinal radiographs in scoliosis are functions of its geometry.
abstract: 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.
