Regression analysis has shown that the Ferguson and Cobb methods of measuring spinal
curvature give comparable results, at least before the scoliosis is treated. When the Cobb …

The percentage of correction as determined by the Cobb method and the Ferguson method
of measurement are not comparable. The differences and discrepancies between the two …

A new method for the measurement of scoliotic curves in antero-posterior (AP) radiographs
is presented, in which the centre of the surface image of the vertebral bodies of the apical …

A new technique of measurement--Scoliotic Index (SI)--was devised to obtain more accurate
determination of the spinal curvature. In comparison with previously established methods …

MEASUREMENT OF SCOLIOSIS* Page 1 Tile techniques of the Cobb and! Ferguson systems
are presented! below. We suggest that all radiologists be thoroughly familiar with both systems …

In scoliosis, the Cobb measure of durve severity has been recommended over the Ferguson
method because it had greater magnitude and appeared more sensitive to changes during …

Study Design. A prospective diagnostic clinical trial. Objective. To evaluate the accuracy,
repeatability of a new method for measuring spinal curvature in patients with scoliosis, the …

The measurement of the magnitude of the deformity in idiopathic scoliosis is usually
performed by either the Cobb method or the Ferguson method. In this study an error analysis …

In order to determine the reliability of the Cobb angle measurement as it is used in the
clinical management of scoliosis, a methodological survey was carried out. In the …

Thirty-five untreated patients with scoliosis were studied by Cobb radiography and back-
surface photogrammetry on each of at least two clinic visits. Also, the maximum vertebral …
