We just got back from our 6 month check with one of the top orthopedic surgeons in the states. Our hospital now has the state of the art EOS ultra low dose radiation scanner, so less exposure to radiation.It uses 10 times less radiation than a regular x- Ray and 89%less than a CTscan of the spine.
children's hospital is proud to be one of the two in the country that has this unit.
What a blessing to be so close by to this new technology.
Other great news! Her curves were reduced from the first radiographs taken.....Yea!
top rt thoracic reduced by 5 degrees. And left lumbar reduced by 2 degrees.
When I asked what is the marginal error in measuring, Our Orthopedic stated within 3 degrees. so I don't remember who online here said it was higher, they were misinformed, it's within 3 degrees....right from the top orthopedic surgeon mouth
So happy, and she wears a Boston brace and this was after 24 hours out of brace.
Last measurement was rt th 27 now 22
Lt lumbar 27. Now 25
IN brace it's less, anyway I am happy it didn't progress and some improvement is noticed. We all left happy.
