Clinicians may use S2 to describe a bone level (S2 vertebral segment), a nerve root (the S2 nerve), or a sensory\/motor distribution (an S2 \u201cdermatome\u201d or \u201cmyotome\u201d). S2 is frequently mentioned in spine imaging reports, neurologic exams, and surgical planning around the low back, sacrum, and pelvis. It is also used to precisely localize symptoms and procedures near the sacral nerve roots."}
