Kyphosis care at Mayo Clinic
Your Mayo Clinic care team
Mayo Clinic's kyphosis care team includes orthopedic surgeons and doctors trained in imaging (radiologists), physical medicine and rehabilitation, and bone density (endocrinologists). This team approach means you get more than one opinion. These specialists work together to create the care plan that is best for you.
Advanced imaging techniques
Mayo Clinic uses the latest imaging technology to help diagnose kyphosis. Mayo Clinic's EOS imaging systems create detailed 3D X-ray images of the spine that are like CT scans but use much less radiation. This is especially important for children, because repeated exposure to X-ray radiation over time can raise health risks.
3D printing technology
Another cutting-edge imaging technique available at Mayo Clinic is 3D printing. This technology creates a physical model of the affected area of the spine. This helps surgeons plan complex procedures more accurately. Surgeons also use low-dose imaging navigation to guide surgery. This allows precise, personalized treatment and the best possible outcomes.
