Difference in the Cobb Angle Between Standing and Supine Position as a Prognostic Factor After Vertebral Augmentation in Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures [PDF]
Neurospine, 2022 Objective We retrospectively analyzed patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) undergoing vertebral augmentation to compare the Cobb angle changes in the supine and standing positions and the clinical outcomes.

Measurement of scoliosis Cobb angle by end vertebra tilt angle method [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2018 Background Scoliosis is a common deformity, and its severity is usually assessed by measuring the Cobb angle on the spinal X-ray film. The measurement of the Cobb angle is an important basis for selecting therapeutic methods and evaluating therapeutic ...

A Semi-Automatic Algorithm for Estimating Cobb Angle [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering, 2019 Background: Scoliosis is the most common type of spinal deformity. A universal and standard method for evaluating scoliosis is Cobb angle measurement, but several studies have shown that there is intra- and inter- observer variation in measuring cobb ...

Cobb Angle Measurement of Scoliosis with Reduced Variability [PDF]
, 2012 Cobb angle, which is a measure of spinal curvature is the standard method for quantifying the magnitude of Scoliosis related to spinal deformity in orthopedics. Determining the Cobb angle through manual process is subject to human errors. In this work, we propose a methodology to measure the magnitude of Cobb angle, which appreciably reduces the ...

Conquering the Cobb Angle: A Deep Learning Algorithm for Automated, Hardware-Invariant Measurement of Cobb Angle on Radiographs in Patients with Scoliosis. [PDF]
Radiol Artif Intell, 2023 Scoliosis is a disease estimated to affect more than 8% of adults in the United States. It is diagnosed with use of radiography by means of manual measurement of the angle between maximally tilted vertebrae on a radiograph (ie, the Cobb angle). However, these measurements are time-consuming, limiting their use in scoliosis surgical planning and ...
