It is measured on spine or pelvis imaging, most commonly a standing side-view (lateral) X-ray. Clinicians use it to understand posture and \u201csagittal alignment,\u201d meaning alignment when viewed from the side. It is often discussed in the evaluation of low back pain, spinal deformity, and surgical planning."}
