@entity1 @entity171 @entity2850 @entity3792 @entity85 @entity6926
PURPOSE: In this study we present a standard for radiological reports in @entity1 with @entity6926 ( @entity6926 ). The parameters can be used to describe X-rays of the lateral spine and give an impartial description of anatomical structures during a treatment with @entity171 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this retrospective analysis we included 48 @entity1 with @entity6926 (31 female, 17 male [1.5 months - 19 years, mean age 9.0 years]). Lateral spine X-rays were analyzed by 2 radiologists before and during treatment. The parameters of the standardized report are degree of @entity3792 , compression of single vertebrae, predominant type of @entity2850 (score 1 - 5). RESULTS: There was no clear trend in the change of compression of single vertebrae. Some vertebrae with ventral compression showed an upgrowth to vertebrae with harmonic compression. Other @entity85 showed only marginal changes. In 26 @entity1 the @entity3792 improved (mean 10 degrees), in 36 @entity1 the thoracic vertebrae compression increased and in 30 @entity1 the vertebral height in the lumbar spine increased. The improvement of vertebral height was 1 point in the thoracic and lumbar spine. CONCLUSION: We propose a standardized report of X-rays of the lateral spine in @entity1 with @entity6926 with quantitative and semiquantitative parameters using morphological criteria. These include compression of single vertebrae, degree of @entity3792 , @entity85 and the severity of vertebral compression in the thoracic and lumbar spine.
