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

Figure 6

Results of the fit to the spinal trajectory obtained from body contour line analysis and vertebral body position analysis. Dashed line: trajectory from body contour line analysis (SP2), dotted line: trajectory from vertebral body position analysis (SP3); solid line is the best fit line of SP2 on to SP3. (a) is an example of mild deviation, (b) moderate deviation, (c) strong deviation. (Note the different scaling of the abscissa for better visualization.)
