Objective:
To explore the improvement effect of SLOT Scan technology (narrow seam exposure capture technology) and the radiography techniques on the quality of the scoliosis X-ray films in teenagers.
Methods:
The Sonialvision Safire II equipment of Shimadzu corporation and SLOT Scan were applied to take the radiography for 60 patients taller than 1.50 metres. All the data were collected through a continual exposure, and the images were sewn up through a seamless connection software.
Results:
Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar and sacral segments could clearly present at the same time on one X-ray film by seamless splicing,and the quality of one time radiograph was as good as one film.
Conclusion:
As a new radiology technique, SLOT Scan can wipe off splitting artifact effectively and make the whole spine seamless present on one X-ray film. It helps the spinal surgeons to observe, calculate and measure accurately. It is useful to choose the operation mode and judge the curative effect.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
