Figures
- Figure 1
Examples of the measured parameters on curved reformatted computed tomography images in a control subject (left), scoliosis patient with right curve (middle), and scoliosis patient with left curve (right). (a) Tortuosity index of the aorta. (b) Curve index of the spine. (c) Centerline angle of the aorta.
- Figure 2
Examples of the measured angles on axial computed tomography images in a control subject (right), scoliosis patient with right curve (middle), and scoliosis patient with left curve (left). (a) Vertebral rotation angle. (b) Aorto-vertebral angle.
- Figure 3
Examples of 3D volume-rendered reconstructions of the spine and the aorta in a control subject (right), scoliosis patient with right curve (middle), and scoliosis patient with left curve (left).
- Figure 4
Box and whisker plots showing the distribution of aorta tortuosity index (a) and aorta centerline angle (b) in scoliosis patients compared with the control group.
- Figure 5
Scatter plot showing the distribution of aorta tortuosity index and Cobb's angle in the scoliosis patient group. The linear regression line and equation are shown.
- Figure 6
Line chart showing the mean aorto-vertebral angles measured at each vertebral level in the control group (green line), scoliosis patients with right curve (blue line), and scoliosis patients with left curve (red line). The 3 lines are furthest at the level of apex vertebra (T7) and closest at T11 to T12; the level of the diaphragmatic aortic hiatus is shown.
