The CVST is a very sensitive test for identifying possible brain injury or cerebral dysfunction as a result of a progressive dementia. The task is also very sensitive to the effects of epilepsy and side effects of medication that work on the central nervous system. The CVST is a computerized pattern tracking test. It is an adaptation of the Visual Searching Task (VST) by Goldstein et al. (1973). The task consists of finding a grid pattern out of 26 which matches the one in the centre of the screen. Results show accuracy and speed of responses from which can be concluded if more (neuropsychological) research is needed.

About

BackSCNR

This radiation-free tool uses surface topography to screen and monitor scoliosis in adolescents. It captures 3D torso scans, analyzes asymmetries, and estimates curve angles to support clinical decision-making.

Highlights
  • Radiation-free scoliosis screening
  • 3D torso capture with TrueDepth or Structure Sensor
  • Asymmetry analysis and curve angle estimation
  • Supports clinical decision-making
  • Rapid analysis via secure web platform

BackSCNR (Back Scanner) is a scoliosis screening and monitoring support tool designed to aid in the management of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Using advanced Surface Topography (ST), the app provides a radiation-free and non-invasive way to assess the 3D shape of the human torso, offering a safe alternative for frequent monitoring without exposure to harmful X-rays. Developed through years of leading academic research, BackSCNR is registered with Health Canada as a Class I Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). It is intended for use in individuals aged 10–18 years to assist clinicians in quantifying torso asymmetries and estimating curve angles associated with AIS. Key Features: - Flexible 3D Torso Capture: Capture high-accuracy 3D scans using either the Structure Sensor accessory or your iPhone’s built-in TrueDepth camera. - Asymmetry Analysis: Aids in identifying and tracking torso asymmetries over time. - Clinical Support: Provides detailed metrics, including estimated Cobb angles and deviation color maps, to support clinical decision-making. - Rapid Results: Upload and process models to receive analysis within minutes on our secure web platform. How it Works: 1. Select Your Hardware: The app automatically detects if a Structure Sensor is connected and will default to it for scanning. If no sensor is detected, the app defaults to the iPhone’s TrueDepth camera. 2. Capture the Scan: Follow the in-app guidance to take a 3D scan of the patient's torso. 3. Analyze & Report: Upload the data to the secure BackSCNR website for automated analysis and reporting. Compatibility: - TrueDepth:** Compatible with TrueDepth-enabled iPhones (iPhone X and newer). - OS: Supported on modern iOS devices (iPhone X and later) and compatible iPads. - Sensors: Optimized for Structure Sensor 3; also supports Mark II and Pro models.

Use of the device for diagnosis should only be done in consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
