Abstract: Standing spinal radiographs are the primary method of spinal deformity evaluation in patients with scoliosis. During periods of patient surveillance, the clinician compares serial radiographs to assess progression of the deformity. One of the potential problems in comparing sequential radiographs is variation in patient positioning.
