Formetric 4D Scoliosis Analyzer

Formetric 4D Scoliosis Analysis Device

Overview: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional curvature deformity of the spine. In a healthy spine, the vertebrae align in a straight line. In scoliosis, the vertebrae shift to the right, left, or both directions from the midline and can also rotate around their own axes.

Diagnosis and Importance: Curvature might be observable externally, but it often requires diagnostic methods, including medical examination, X-rays, or specialized analysis devices. The Diers Formetric 4D Scoliosis Analysis Device uses a four-dimensional analysis method to detect spinal curvature in just 4 seconds. Unlike traditional methods, this device does not use X-rays, making it a safer option for diagnosis and treatment.

Features and Benefits:

  • Non-Invasive: Does not involve X-rays, ensuring a safer diagnostic process.
  • Quick Detection: Identifies spinal curvature within 4 seconds.
  • Detailed Analysis: Provides a map of the spine’s position, allowing for precise assessment of deformity areas and treatment progress.
  • Safe for Repeated Measurements: Since it does not use radiation, measurements can be repeated as necessary.

Clinical Applications: Spinal deformities can lead to various health issues, including:

  • Back and Lower Back Pain: Due to misalignment and strain.
  • Shortness of Breath and Fatigue: Resulting from compression of the lungs and heart.
  • Life-Threatening Respiratory and Cardiac Insufficiency: In severe cases.

Causes and Risk Factors:

  • Neurological Disorders: Infections affecting the spine.
  • Spinal Trauma: Injury or trauma to the spine.
  • Non-Structural Issues: Postural imbalances, leg length discrepancies, or hip joint diseases.

Prevalence and Screening:

  • Childhood Onset: Scoliosis is often observed in children.
  • Prevalence in Turkey: Affects 1-3% of the population.
  • Screening Importance: Early detection through school screenings is crucial to avoid surgery.

Device Usage:

  • Technology: Utilizes a light source and camera to record light reflections, creating a detailed spine map.
  • Application: Employed by Romatem Hospitals for the first time in Turkey. Also analyzes kyphosis (humpback) and body posture (posture) disorders.

The Formetric 4D device offers an advanced, non-invasive method for diagnosing and monitoring scoliosis, enhancing the ability to provide early and effective treatment.
