Background The standard for evaluating scoliosis is PA radiographs using Cobb angle to
measure curve magnitude. Newer PACS systems allow easier Cobb angle calculations, but …

Background Scoliosis of the vertebral column can be assessed with the Cobb angle (Cobb
1948). This examination is performed manually by measuring the angle on radiographs and …

Objectives: To compare the measurement of the Cobb angle on printed radiographs and on
scanned radiographs viewed through the software" PixViewer". Methods: Preoperative …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The vertebral spine angle in the frontal plane is an important
parameter in the assessment of scoliosis and may be obtained from panoramic X-ray …

The Cobb angle method is the gold standard to assess severity of scoliosis. A computer-
aided method was developed to provide a semi-automatic Cobb angle measurement during …

Study Design. Interobserver and intraobserver reliability study of improved method to
evaluate radiographs of patients with scoliosis. Objective. To determine the reliability of a …

Abstract Purpose The Cobb angle as an objective measure is used to determine the
progression of deformity, and is the basis in the planning of conservative and surgical …

Study Design. Prospective study. Objective. To compare variability in Cobb angle between
digitally and traditionally acquired scoliosis radiographs. Summary of Background Data …

Objective The objective was to compare Cobb angle measurements performed using an
Oxford Cobbmeter and digital computer software (Surgimap) in a series of 83 adolescent …

BACKGROUND: Electronic rulers on computer screen are used to measure the Cobb angle
(CA) instead of traditional methods with rulers, protractors and pens. The variety of software …
