Patent attributes
A human spinal column measuring and displaying system includes a spinal column measuring apparatus capable of measuring bending or a circumflex (twist) angle of the spinal column of the human body as a detaching amount measuring data from a reference value, an input apparatus for inputting gender, height data of the measurement subject, an image processing apparatus for inputting the detaching amount measuring data from the spinal column measuring apparatus and data from the input apparatus and generating a three-dimensional spinal column image of the measurement subject based on the detaching amount measuring data and the gender, height data of the measurement subject, and a display apparatus for displaying an image data from the image processing apparatus. The system can calculate a measured data of three-dimensional coordinates and a circumflex angle of the spinal column by scanning a predetermined probe along the spinal column, and simulate a shape of the spinal column from the measured data to be able to display a three-dimensional pseudonymous spinal column image by utilizing computer graphics.
