نبذة مختصرة : Retrospective analysis of volumetric lung reconstructions from low dose CT scans of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients treated with thoracoscopic anterior spinal fusion (TASF). Scans were analysed to determine the change in lung volume after surgical correction. Deformity correction surgery resulted in an improvement in the symmetry of the thoracic architecture in addition to postural balance and trunk appearance. Furthermore, change in lung volume was significantly correlated with changes in Cobb angle, hemithoracic asymmetry, and increased patient height, which are major consequences of deformity correction surgery.
