Abstract
In contrast to adults, the six-point technique assessing anterior, middle, and posterior vertebral height ratios is neither satisfactorily reliable nor sensitive for VF diagnosis in children. Training of the software on paediatric images is required in order to develop a paediatric standard that incorporates not only specific vertebral body height ratios but also the age-related physiological changes in vertebral shape that occur throughout childhood.
