摘要

The objectives of this preliminary study were to assess the reliability and accuracy of ultrasound (US) for measuring coronal curvature with and without the aid of a previous radiograph, and to evaluate the ability of US to detect curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients.
