Table 2 shows RRAs from L1 to S1, SBAs, Tz per segment from L1 to S1, and Tz of L1 to S1 comparisons of re-exam 1 and re-exam 2 LL x-rays. SBA improved from 33.5° to 37.0° (normal is 40.0°) and Tz L4-L5 improved from 7.1 mm to 2.4 mm, within normal limits (WNL) (normal is 0.0 mm).

RRA = Relative Rotational Angle of Measurement

ARA = Absolute Rotational Angle of Measurement
