Much debate on Cobb angles and marginal error.
Marginal error between reading radiographs is with in 3 degrees per a well respect orthopedic Surgeon whose hospital has served over 25,000 patients with the orthopedic facility using the most advanced equipment. An EOS low dose radiation scanner is used there.
With digital and computers the error of margin is reduced since a decade ago.
As technology advances the marginal of error will go down.
