First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
