A Noninvasive 3D Body Scanner and Software Tool towards Analysis of Scoliosis

Figure 10

Variation of the individual mean of vertebral body to skin distances, for different types of scoliosis (green symbols represent small deviations, yellow moderate deviations, and red strong deviations). Each panel represents the classification of scoliosis according to the vertebral column region: thoracic, lumbar, thoracic-lumbar, and combined scoliosis. The lengths of the vertebral columns were normalized from 0 (level of the iliac crest) to 1 (level of the vertebra prominens) to account for interindividual differences in length.
