van der Graaf J, van Hooff M, van Ginneken B, Huisman M, Rutten M, Lamers D, et al.
Eur Radiol . 2024 Feb; 34(9):5748-5757. PMID: 38383922
Objectives: Severity of degenerative scoliosis (DS) is assessed by measuring the Cobb angle on anteroposterior radiographs. However, MRI images are often available to study the degenerative spine. This retrospective study...
