Image computer-aided detection system software designed to operate detection systems used to analyze in-vivo images of the spine. These detection systems assess the spine structure (i.e., spine configuration and its abnormalities) from the skin surface without using ionizing radiation. This software can work with personal computers that provide a minimum of the required capabilities; the software performs a variety of algorithms to facilitate the analysis of spinal images taken from the skin. The software is usually supplied with the computer-aided systems and may be updated (i.e., through the release of modified versions) during the life of the system. Spine skin surface image computer-aided detection system software facilitates the analysis of deformities in the sagittal and frontal planes (e.g., segmental angles, perpendicular inclination) and the segmental motion of the spine; it is mainly used to determine the status and progress of spinal disorders, including kyphosis or lordosis of particular spinal areas.
