This is a link to a local newspaper article describing Axial Biotech's research presentation done this week at the 2008 Annual SRS conference being held in Salt Lake City. http://www.sltrib.com/ci_10437321
It describes a new way to measure if a child who has scoliosis, has a progressive form of scoliosis, and those who will likely grow out of their need for medical/surgical treatment/intervention. Interesting for those who have familial histories of scoliosis - knowing which person in the family has more risk of the scoliosis progressing and which may not progress, meaning fewer xrays and healthier outcomes (because of lack of exposure to xray radiation, etc.).
