Cobb angle
Yes. It’s the included angle, and is a reference that is used in measuring our curves.

Its good to have your own copies of your x-rays to compare angles to see if you are progressing in the future. The copy you have now, will help years from now in determining this, the next surgeon will appreciate the copy. Rapid progression is an indicator for surgery.
In my signature you will see C12, T70, L70. That is a 12 degree cervical, 70 degree thoracic, and 70 degree lumbar curve right before my surgeries. I had twin 50 degree curves for many many years and delayed my surgeries since 1974.
