Study Summary
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a curvature of the spine that occurs in 1-2% of otherwise healthy children, and requires corrective surgery, posterior spinal fusion (PSF) in \~10% of cases. Some studies suggest that pulmonary function is reduced in AIS and that PSF improves pulmonary function. The lung is composed of a large number of branching airways that terminate in gas exchanging units called alveoli, and the number and structure of these alveoli are partially dependent upon lung volume and the forces to which they are exposed--two factors predicted to be altered in AIS. This study uses MRI imaging of inhaled helium to quantify alveolar structure in children with and without AIS before and one-year after PSF. The goals of the study are to determine if alveolar architecture or number are altered in AIS and whether PSF impacts these same measures.
