【 摘 要 】

Purpose Adolescent idiopoathic scoliosis (AIS) is a progressive spinal deformity, most often observed in female patients of pubescent age. The deformity’s severity, its progression through time, its treatment and subsequent follow-up are assessed with routine radiological evaluation of the patient’s full spine. This study aimed to determine the cumulative radiation exposure in average patients with AIS treated by brace or surgery throughout their treatment.
