This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

When scoliosis is clinically suspected in school children it may be necessary to radiograph the spine in the erect position to determine the degree of scoliosis and the presence of developmental abnormalities. The findings will be valuable to determine the future treatment of a child and to assess the necessity for operative interference. It is obviously desirable to devise a radiographic technique which will produce the information required with a low dose of radiation, bearing in mind the age of the children and the fact that subsequent radiography may be required on many occasions.
