C.3 Lateral Spine Image Analysis
NOTE: In most cases, the software will accurately analyze the scan image.
However, unusual anatomy or incorrect patient positioning may
require you to complete manual adjustments to the scan image, such
as ROI or edgemarker positions.
The procedure that follows gives the basic steps necessary to complete a lateral spine
analysis. Refer to section C.4 for more information.
1. Refer to section 2.4.1 to select a patient scan file for analysis.
