What to Expect
Measurements and Scanning
A 3-D scan is captured with the Omega Tracer system in order to produce a three-dimensional model of the patient. This computer image is then modified with corrective forces and used to fabricate the custom scoliosis orthosis. Measurements are obtained with a tape measure at various landmarks and photos are taken.
What to Bring
Please bring a copy of your prescription and your most recent X-rays. Female patients can wear a one piece bathing suit for the scanning process.
