Combination of whole spine lateral radiograph and lateral scanogram in the assessment of global sagittal balance

Global balance of human standing is analyzed as the geometric sum of the individual alignments extending from the spinal column to the pelvis, and to the lower limbs. The innovative EOS system has opened new perspectives for the global analysis of whole body alignment, but its use is very limited due to its high cost. An alternative may be to combine the whole spine lateral radiograph and the lateral scanogram in the global sagittal analysis of whole body alignment.
