Material And Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among all resident physicians of all specialties in Abha city during the period from July 2020 to September 2020.
Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine has an abnormal curvature and Cobb angle is a measurement used to evaluate the severity of a spinal curvature. Presently, automatic Existing Cobb angle measurement techniques require huge dataset, time-consuming, and needs significant effort. So, it is important to develop an unsupervised method for the measurement of Cobb angle with good accuracy.

This lesion will appear in imaging as ground glass matrix similar to fibrous dysplasia, but it will also show rings and arcs calcifications. In turn, this can lead to misdiagnosing fibrocartilaginous dysplasia as primary cartilaginous lesion such as enchondroma or chondrosarcoma, neccesating histopathological confirmation.

This study aimed to compare imaging findings of GCT pre- and post-denosumab treatment, including lesion size, percentage of signal intensity/density change, and time of initial objective tumor response. This will have a great impact on selection of most appropriate imaging technique to accurately measure therapy response and its related complications, which would influence the physicians to tailor the treatment regimen to suit each patient.
