Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to

1. investigate the degree of agreement between the ultrasound-measured depth (in the transverse median and paramedian sagittal oblique plane) and the actual depth to the epidural space in pediatric patients with scoliosis.
2. investigate the quality of ultrasound view for detecting ligamentum flavum and dura mater.
