摘要
A total of 258 patients with some degree of idiopathic scoliosis was monitored with both radiographs and moire photography to determine the degree of progression of spinal curvature. The use of polaroid photography to document moire fringe patterns proved to be a rapid and useful process for placing an instant photographic record in patient charts while conducting routine physical examinations. Standardization of procedures for making and evaluating moire photographs reduced patient exposure to X-rays.
