A modification of the Oxford technique for the radiological examination of scoliotic curvatures in school-children has been devised. Satisfactory image quality is achieved in this way and the radiation dose to patients, despite examinations every 3 months, is only a fraction of the maximum permissible level for radiation workers. The method is simple. Conventional X-ray equipment can be employed.
