We have been studying a new therapy and diagnosis for scoliosis based on the observation and analysis of the motion of spine during breathing. The purpose of our research is to construct a computer aided system for the new therapy and diagnosis for scoliosis by a real-time finite element analysis. To achieve this, we have done research about two fundamental techniques: 1) the development of a real-time finite element analysis by using deep neural networks, and 2)the reconstruction of a patient-specific spine shapes from low resolution medial images with much noise.
