First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Surface topography is used as a non invasive acquisition of the external trunk geometry of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The aim of this study is to investigate a surface evaluation approach to evaluate the three-dimensional correction by inferring the in-brace trunk surface of patients undergoing SpineCor brace treatment [1].
