Moire Tomography in Measurement of the sagittal Curvatures of the Spine
The purpose of the investigation was to establish the accuracy of moire topography in the analysis of the kyphotic spine. Using simplified instrumentation, moire topogram was performed in the 50 outpatients at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, School of Medicine, University of Zagreb. Lateral x-ray and meticulous clinical measurements of the spine were included as well. A correlation between the obtained results was established. A high correlation (r = 0.847) was found between the results obtained by means of X-rays and those obtained by means of moire topography. The authors concluded that the method is ideal for the determination of a morphotypology of the kyphotic spine and can significantly contribute to the differentiation between normal and pathological sagittal curvatures of the spine without the need for x-ray of the spine. The authors conclude that the application of moire topography in the biomechanical laboratories can contribute to the new cognition on kinematics of the spine. The investigation demonstrated that simple and nonexpensive apparatus can be used for the moire topography in the follow-up of the sagittal curvatures of the spine.
