title: Study on the diagnostic system of scoliosis by using infrared camera.
abstract: In this study, the radiation generated in the diagnosis of scoliosis, to solve the problems by using an infrared camera and an optical marker system that can diagnose scoliosis developed. System developed by the infrared camera attached to the optical spinal curvature is recognized as a marker to shoot the angle between the two optical markers are measured. Measurement of angle, we used the Cobb's Angle method used in the diagnosis of spinal scoliosis. We developed a software to be able to output to the screen using an infrared camera to diagnose spinal scoliosis. Software is composed of camera output unit was manufactured in Labview, angle measurement unit, in Cobb's Angle measurement unit. In the future, kyphosis, Hallux Valgus, such as the diagnosis of orthopedic disorders that require the use of a diagnostic system is expected case.
