The paper deals with the thermography applied to monitor the course of scoliosis treatment. In the research, 403 children and teenagers in the 9-17 age range (m = 13.4) were examined. The orthopaedic and thermovision examination was carried out once in the group of healthy children, whereas the children with the spine curvature, undergoing conservative and operative treatment, were examined orthpeadically, roentgenographically and thermovisionally before and after the treatment. Cobb's method and the Gruca categorisation of the degree of scoliosis were employed to assess the type and the level of the primary and the secondary curvature. The analysis of the thermographic pictures was carried out using the computer program for such an analysis of the back in relation to mechanic and anatomic axis of the spine. The results were analysed statistically and presented in the form of histograms. Based on the research, the thermographic model of the back and spine was constructed. The relation between the degree of the primary and the secondary curvature and the pattern of temperature distribution of the back was found as well as the thermographic features characteristic of the development of the scoliosis were identified.
