The Dept. of Mechatronics, Optics and Information Engineering, within the project team, had built an electronic moire equipment to visualize and diagnose scoliosis. The device generates a computerized moire phenomenon, which can be viewed and save for later examination. The applicability of the system was teste with statistical method from the moire patterns, which was created by the prototype device. The results of the calculations – to determine the rate of scoliosis by moire patterns – are promising and comparable with X-ray examinations.
