The purpose of the present study is to validate a quite recent stereoradiographic 3D reconstruction technique, called Non Stereo Corresponding Points (NSCP), on scoliotic patients. The validation of the NSCP technique on scoliotic patients was performed on 59 scoliotic vertebrae from 14 patients, by comparison to the CT scan. The results of this study show mean errors of 1.5 mm. These results should still be optimized for the geometrical modelling. Nevertheless, this technique may already be used as a diagnosis tool in clinics.
