What you will cover in this lecture
This lecture looks at the imaging in the cases of adult deformities. The key modalities utilised in the evaluation of this disorder are discussed, along with the role of X-rays in the local, as well as global, assessment of deformity. The role of MRI and CT is clarified using appropriate clinical images. The EOS is discussed in detail and the images compared against conventional investigations such as CT. Finally, the strategies which can limit the amount of radiation without compromising the information are covered.
Learning Objectives
- To understand the components of deformity which need evaluation with imaging
- The sagittal alignment and balance assessment using X-rays
Target Groups
