About Orthoscanogram

An Orthoscanogram is a specialized, non-invasive diagnostic imaging procedure performed by a Radiologist to obtain a comprehensive, three-dimensional view of the skeletal system and its alignment. It is a modern, low-dose digital X-ray technique that captures a full-body or regional scan of the bones and joints in a single, standing image. This procedure is crucial for assessing posture, spinal curvature (like scoliosis or kyphosis), leg length discrepancies, and overall skeletal biomechanics. It provides invaluable data for orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and spine specialists to plan treatments, monitor progression of conditions, and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions such as braces or surgeries. The scan is quick, painless, and involves minimal radiation exposure, making it a safe and efficient tool for detailed orthopedic evaluation.

Key Highlights

    Provides a full-body or regional skeletal image in a single, weight-bearing scan for accurate alignment assessment.Utilizes low-dose digital X-ray technology, minimizing radiation exposure.Non-invasive, painless, and typically completed within 10-15 minutes.Delivers high-resolution, 3D-reconstructable images for detailed biomechanical analysis.Essential for pre-surgical planning and post-treatment monitoring in orthopedic care.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Evaluation and monitoring of spinal deformities such as scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis.
  • Assessment of posture abnormalities and pelvic tilt.
  • Pre-operative planning for spinal fusion, joint replacement, or corrective osteotomy surgeries.
  • Diagnosing leg length discrepancies and their impact on gait and posture.
  • Monitoring the progression of degenerative bone diseases or the effectiveness of bracing/orthotic interventions.
  • Evaluating overall skeletal alignment in patients with chronic back or joint pain.

How to prepare

  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal zippers, buttons, or ornaments.
  • You may be asked to change into a hospital gown to avoid interference from clothing.

  • Potential for anxiety or discomfort from having to stand still during the scan, especially for patients with pain.
  • Very rare risk of technical failure requiring a repeat scan.
  • No direct risks of infection or bleeding as it is a non-invasive procedure.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • There is no recovery period or downtime; you can resume all normal activities immediately after the scan.
  • You may leave the radiology department as soon as the procedure is complete.
