[Three-dimensional Ultrasound Imaging of Coronal Curvature and Vertebral Rotation Changes from Supine to Standing in Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis].
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the gravitational effect on coronal curvature and vertebral rotation using 3-D ultrasound in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). METHODS: Sixteen female patients with AIS were recruited and examined using a 3-D ultrasound unit incorporated with SonixGPS system (Ultrasonix Medical Corporation, Canada). Ultrasound scanning was performed continuously along the coronal plane from C7 to S1, with a standing and a supine position, respectively. Coronal curvature and vertebral rotation were measured using the center of laminae (COL) method. Multivariate linear regression models were established to determine factors associated with changes of lateral curvature and vertebral rotation in different posture positions. The correlations of measurements between standing and supine were tested using Pearson correlation analyses. RESULTS: Changes of coronal curvature and vertebral rotation from a supine to a standing posture were within 1.9°-11.7° and 0.0°-5.9°, respectively. The changes increased with the severity of AIS. The 3-D ultrasound measurements of lateral curvature and vertebral rotation were highly correlated. CONCLUSION: 3-D ultrasound can reveal changes of coronal curvature and vertebral rotation from a supine to a standing posture in patients with AIS, which increase with the severity of AIS. Further studies in large samples are warranted.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
