Cobb Angle Measurement of Kyphosis and Scoliosis

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Kyphosis; Scoliosis
• Interventions: Procedure: Lunar iDXA x-ray scan

• Registration Number: NCT02165514
• Lead Sponsor: University of Michigan

Brief Summary

Measurement of bone length in subjects diagnosed with kyphosis and scoliosis using the Lunar iDXA x-ray scan.

Detailed Description

To determine if bone density scanning (DEXA) and the use of a computer software program can make accurate measurements of the curvature(s) of the spine (Cobb angle)in patients with kyphosis and scoliosis compared to x-rays of the spine.
