The proposed work will develop a three-dimensional model of the scoliotic spine. The curvature and length will be determined from radiographs, and the material properties will be initially obtained from published literature. The model will then be used to predict the correction expected by a given surgical procedure employing a certain number of fixation sites (where the spine is attached to a rigid rod to correct the scoliosis). The simulation results will then be compared with data obtained from post operative radiographs. The project will lead to the development of a theoretically oriented biomedical engineer with excellent ties to the clinical world; and if successful, it may also result in the reduction of the number of fixation sites used for the operative procedure.

提出的工作将开发一个脊柱侧凸的三维模型。曲率和长度将由x光片确定，材料性质将最初从已发表的文献中获得。然后，该模型将用于预测通过采用一定数量的固定位点（脊柱连接到刚性棒以纠正脊柱侧凸）的给定外科手术所期望的矫正。然后将模拟结果与术后x线片数据进行比较。该项目将导致一个理论导向的生物医学工程师与临床世界的良好联系的发展；如果成功，它也可能导致手术过程中固定位置的数量减少。
