Abstract
Material and methods We have used the Formetric 4D-Dicom II system, which is supplied also with lateral Cobb angle measurement. We have examined 616 patients (432 females and 184 males), age 5 y to 21 y. The patients have been visited clinically by inspection, Adams forward bending test and Perdriolle scoliometer. We have fit, to every patient, 4-8 reflectors on the apex of T1 through L4 spinal process and 2 shoulder reflectors to get the possibility for lateral Cobb angle measurement with the Formetric 4D.
Highlights
The aim is to reveal the importance of surface topography in complement to the x-rays [1,2]

Summary
The aim is to reveal the importance of surface topography in complement to the x-rays [1,2]. Is the surface topography a helpful tool for the management of scoliosis?
