Cobb angle

Cobb angle
an angle measuring scoliosis as seen on a radiograph: for a given group of vertebrae, lines are drawn across the vertebral column on the upper surface of the upper vertebra and the lower surface of the lower vertebra. The angle measured may be either that between these two lines or that between lines drawn perpendicular to them.
