An interventional study of Ultrasound in Scoliosis Idiopathic and Scoliosis; Juvenile, sponsored by Children's National Research Institute. Status unknown at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 7 Years to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-02-01.

Scoliosis is a complex 3-dimensional deformity of the spine. It may occur at any time throughout growth and development and is typically detected through x-ray imaging. Although effective at visualizing a curve, x-ray imaging is costly and may expose children to potentially harmful ionizing radiation. This is a 30 patient study to evaluate the reliability of ultrasound, an imaging technique without radiation, to effectively measure scoliosis deformities compared to the gold-standard of x-ray.
All patients who present to Children's National Medical Center for initial evaluation of idiopathic or juvenile scoliosis will be approached.
594 studies on the registry are indexed under Scoliosis; 139 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 44 across 344 interventional studies indexed under Scoliosis.

Exclusion Criteria:
This is a single arm study comparing an ultrasound with the industry standard of x-ray to detect and monitor scoliosis curvature.
Device: Ultrasound
An industry standard ultrasound will be fitted with a self-tracking probe to track along the spine. The ultrasound will be performed three (3) times along the spine at initial consultation for scoliosis.
Imaging
Ability of the ultrasound to produce a radiographic measurement (e.g. coronal spinal curvature, coronal spinal rotation) within the variability of the gold standard of x-ray
Time frame: 3 years
