What is Formetric 4D Scoliosis Analyzer?
Formetric 4D Scoliosis Analyzer is an innovative device that detects spinal curvature with a four-dimensional analysis method and provides results in just 4 seconds. Scoliosis is a deformity that occurs when the spine curves to the right, left or both directions and the vertebrae rotate around their axis. While this curvature can sometimes be observed externally, it can often only be detected more accurately by specialists and special analyzers.
Formetric 4D is an X-ray-free analyzer that provides safer and more repeatable results. Using a special light source and cameras, the device maps the spine and uses this map to detect the patient's spinal curvature and other postural disorders without causing harm. This is a great advantage, especially for children, because it is radiation-free and progress can be safely monitored on a regular basis.
What are the effects of scoliosis?
Over time, scoliosis can lead to complaints such as back and lower back pain, shortness of breath and fatigue. Advanced scoliosis can cause respiratory and heart failure by pressing on the heart and lungs in the chest. Scoliosis can be caused by postural disorders, leg length discrepancies or hip diseases, as well as other causes such as nervous system diseases, infections and spinal trauma.
Advantages of Formetric 4D:
- Fast and Precise Diagnosis: Formetric 4D detects spinal curvature within 4 seconds, allowing for a faster evaluation.
- Radiation Free and Safe: It does not contain X-rays, which does not pose any risk of harmful radiation during the treatment process, a great advantage, especially for children.
- Harmless Measurements: The detection of scoliosis and the monitoring of progress in treatment is done in a completely harmless way.
- Repeatable Analysis: Because there is no radiation, tests can be repeated as many times as needed.
- Detection of Various Disorders: In addition to scoliosis, other spinal problems such as kyphosis (hunchback), lordosis, and postural disorders can also be detected.
Scoliosis Screening and Early Diagnosis
Scoliosis is usually seen in childhood and screenings during primary school are of great importance for early diagnosis of the disease. In line with discussions with the Ministry of Health, early detection of scoliosis allows it to be treated without the need for surgical intervention. Early diagnosis offers a great opportunity to treat scoliosis before it progresses.
