Background: Recent studies have stated the relevance of having new parameters to quantify the position and orientation of the scapula with patients standing upright. Although biplanar radiography can provide 3D reconstructions of the scapula and the spine, it is not yet possible to acquire these images with patients in the same position.
Methods: Two pairs of images were acquired, one for the 3D reconstruction of the spine and ribcage and one for the 3D reconstruction of the scapula.
Background: Patient-specific scapular shape in functional posture can be highly relevant to clinical research. Biplanar radiography is a relevant modality for that purpose with already two existing assessment methods. However, they are either time-consuming or lack accuracy.
