The aim of this paper is to provide a complete overview of the existing methods for quantitative evaluation of spinal curvature from medical images, and to summarize the relevant publications, which may not only assist in the introduction of other researchers to the field, but also be a valuable resource for studying the existing methods or developing new methods and evaluation strategies. Key evaluation issues and future considerations, supported by the results of the overview, are also discussed.

Quantitative evaluation of axial vertebral rotation is essential for the determination of reference values and for understanding the mechanisms of the progression of spinal deformities. The review addresses existing methods for quantitative evaluation of axial vertebral rotation from medical images along with all relevant publications, which may provide a resource for studying existing or developing new evaluation strategies. Key evaluation issues, supported by the results of the review, are also discussed.
