Hi mamamax,

Do you have any info you could share about this procedure in terms of how it compares in accuracy and clarity to a traditional x-ray, and/or the EOS imaging? I'll talk to our surgeon about it at our next visit as a possible intermittent option (assuming it's available anywhere around here) but was wondering if you had any additional info in the mean time?

Thanks

It's all new to me. I'm thinking it is more a tool to assess changes (after a base line is established with xray) which would warrant a closer inspection with xray. And that is how it is being used in my treatment.

What was really cool, was to see my spine in 3D - and the image on the computer is much better than the print out I uploaded. For the first time, I got a true sense of the 3D aspect of scoliosis.

Let me know what you find out - would love to hear the surgeon's opinion of its value.
