Contour Maps: Visualizing 3-dimensions

A common way to detect scoliosis is to make a “height” map of the back. A normal back would be close to symmetrical, while in patients with scoliosis, there will be asymmetry. In the above image the person’s shoulder blades jut out at different heights (a difference of nearly 15 mm) and not symmetrically with the center of the back. ................
