Cobb angle measurements in degrees of spine curvature

Overview

Brief Summary

Measurement of bone length in subjects diagnosed with kyphosis and scoliosis using the Lunar iDXA x-ray scan.

Detailed Description

To determine if bone density scanning (DEXA) and the use of a computer software program can make accurate measurements of the curvature(s) of the spine (Cobb angle)in patients with kyphosis and scoliosis compared to x-rays of the spine.
