Cobb angle measurement with a conventional convex echography probe and a smartphone

ConclusionsAn approximation of the Cobb angle measure is possible with ultrasound by using the transverse processes as reference. This is a very rapid and simple system for assessing the principal spinal deformity measure in young people, although it does not allow estimating the associated axial or sagittal rotation.Graphic abstractThese slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
