To start capturing patient scans, download the BackSCNR iOS app from the App Store. It is compatible with iPad (recommended) and iPhone.
Download on the App StoreThe app requires a Structure Sensor to capture 3D scans. It's compatible with Structure Sensor 3 (recommended) and also older models.
The Structure Sensor is precise and easy to use. This advanced sensor provides safe, accurate, and/or radiation-less scoliosis assessments. Compatible with the BackSCNR app, it ensures reliable data capture without radiation risks.
Ensure the patient is ready for the scan:
Connect the sensor to your iPad or iPhone, open the BackSCNR app, and follow the on-screen instructions to capture the scan.
After completing the scan, create a new patient profile and fill in the appropriate fields. Select the patient, go to the scan details and lines, and choose the analysis mode.
NB: works best for people with 15°-45°
NB: should not be used on patients with confirmed scoliosis (especially for those with high Cobb angles)
Before analysis, ensure that the torso is upright and that the displayed image shows the back of the torso. Otherwise, use the tools provided to orient the torso appropriately.
Remove all arm portions at the armpits completely. Crop the neck and chin area to be level with the shoulders. Cut off everything below where the pants begin, but keep as much of the hip area as possible.
Click the Analysis button.
After analysis, key results appear in the toolbar:
The 3D view lets you rotate, zoom, and pan the model. The color bar on the right shows deviation in millimeters, where red indicates gibbosity, and blue indicates depression, with color intensity representing the magnitude of deviation. 2D images are available in the VIEWS tab.
Detailed numerical data for each patch is available in the "Data" tab. Each patch includes its torso location, area (mm²), root mean square deviation (mm), maximum deviation (mm), lateral deviation from the center, volume (mm³), and centroid coordinates (x, y, z).
A downloadable PDF report is available in the "PDF" tab.
