Summary
This study aims to collect reference measurements of the spine and pelvis from 161 healthy adults using a low-dose X-ray system called EOS. By understanding what a normal, pain-free spine looks like, researchers hope to better diagnose and treat people with back pain. Participants must be over 18, have no significant back pain, and not be pregnant.

What could go wrong
