We can state that ST can be useful for diagnosing and treating scoliosis. The recommendation is to use it primarily to evaluate the evolution of the curve, as in this mode, you can reduce the patient's exposure to X-rays. The results indicate that BHOHB measures are comparable to radiographs and not influenced by the operator.
