Advancements in Imaging Techniques for Accurate Identification of VCF in Patients with Scoliosis
摘要
Scoliosis is a medical condition that causes an abnormal curve in the spine, which can result in vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). Identifying VCFs accurately is crucial for managing scoliosis effectively and preventing further complications. This review aims to analyze the latest imaging techniques for precise identification of VCFs in patients with scoliosis. The study discusses various imaging methods, such as radiography, CT, MRI, D-EXA, bone scintigraphy, ultrasonography, and CBCT, as potential techniques for identifying VCFs. The challenges and constraints associated with these techniques are also analyzed. The review emphasizes integrating these imaging techniques to enhance scoliosis diagnosis and management, compares their accuracy and effectiveness, and highlights their clinical implications for patient outcomes and quality of life. This provides an overview of the latest advancements in imaging techniques for the accurate identification of VCFs in patients with scoliosis and their potential impact on patient care and future research directions.
