|---|---|
| Concept | Cobb angle |
| Description | A measurement to determine the degree of curvature of the spine. |
| Use | Use to record a Cobb angle. This archetype is designed to be nested within the 'Findings' SLOT in the CLUSTER.imaging_exam_spine, CLUSTER.imaging_exam-cervical_spine, CLUSTER.imaging_exam-thoracic_spine, CLUSTER.imaging_exam-lumbal_spine, the 'Structured imaging findings' SLOT in the OBSERVATION.imaging_exam_result or within other relevant CLUSTER.imaging_exam archetypes, but can also be used within other ENTRY or CLUSTER archetypes, where clinically appropriate. Details about start and end points of the measurement, body postion, supporting devices or method used to measure the angle is to be recorded in OBSERVATION.imaging_exam or in other relevant ENTRY archetypes. |
| Purpose | To record a Cobb angle. |

| Upper vertebra | Upper vertebra: The most tilted vertebra on the top of a spinal curve. Coding of the 'Upper vertebra' with a terminology is preferred, where possible. |
| Apex vertebra | Apex vertebra: The apex of the spinal curve. Coding of the 'Apex vertebra' with a terminology is preferred, where possible. |
| Lowest vertebra | Lowest vertebra: The most tilted vertebra on the bottom of a spinal curve. Coding of the 'Lowest vertebra' with a terminology is preferred, where possible. |
| Cobb angle | Cobb angle: Measured angle of the spinal curve. Property: Angle, plane Units: ° |
