The deformity\u2019s severity, its progression through time, its treatment and subsequent follow-up are assessed with routine radiological evaluation of the patient\u2019s full spine. This study aimed to determine the cumulative radiation exposure in average patients with AIS treated by brace or surgery throughout their treatment.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The average number of imaging procedures and corresponding radiation doses were retrospectively obtained from the medical charts of AIS patients treated conservatively and\/or surgically at our institution. The median radiation exposure of all imaging modalities was stated in effective dose (mSv). The estimated cumulative effective radiation dose of the each treatment group was determined by multiplication of the average number of imaging conducted, and the median effective radiation dose per imaging modality.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In total, 73 AIS patients were included (28 brace, 45 surgically). Patients treated with a brace were subjected to an average of 9.03 full spine radiographs, resulting in an estimated effective cumulative dose of 0.505\u00a0mSv over a median treatment period of 3.23\u00a0years. Patients treated surgically received an average of 14.29 full spine radiographs over a median treatment period of 2.76\u00a0years. The estimated effective cumulative dose amounted from 0.951 to 1.841\u00a0mSv, depending on the surgical technique.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The cumulative effective radiation doses rendered to AIS patients as part of their treatment and follow-up were relatively low.
