Abstract:
Plain film imaging remains important for the diagnosis and surveillance of scoliosis, as well as for the detection of complications after surgery. New means of treating scoliosis have become established and should be understood by the radiologist. To the well-known postoperative complications, including pneumothorax, pneumonia, and gastrointestinal obstruction, are added new specific potential problems with the new surgical methodology.
