How It Works
Designed around the clinical boundary. Measurement support, not diagnostic authority.
01. Import
Add a spinal X-ray from Photos and start an anonymized local case.
02. Measure
Place Cobb points manually or review an auto-detected candidate.
03. Verify
Adjust the image, refine landmarks, and keep clinical judgment in front.
04. Export
Generate a clean JPEG or PDF with case metadata and a measurement-aid notice.
Few Awesome Features
A focused workspace for coronal Cobb angle review and sagittal vertical axis marking.
CASE WORKSPACE
Make review easier
without leaving the device
Keep imported X-rays, thumbnails, dates, and measurement rows in one local workflow.
- Cobb and SVA measurement surfaces
- Patient folders with local history
- Quick remeasure path for saved cases
- Angle summaries built for scanning
ASSISTED REVIEW
Candidate detection, clinician verified
Assisted detection is framed as a candidate to review, not an autonomous diagnosis.
CLINICAL BOUNDARY
Why Choose Cobb Angle Pro
Measurement aid workflows stay explicit, local, and easy to export for review records.
Local workflow
Imported X-rays and annotations remain on device unless you choose to share them.
Clear boundaries
The app supports measurement workflows and does not replace clinical judgment.
Clean exports
Annotated images and case metadata are ready for documentation and review.

Designed for Measurement Review
Cobb Angle Pro helps clinicians measure Cobb angles on iPhone with local X-ray review, assisted landmark checks, SVA support, and PDF exports.
REVIEW LANGUAGE
Assist. Review. Verify. Export.
The app avoids autonomous diagnosis claims and treats assisted output as something clinicians inspect. Every final measurement remains user-reviewed before it is saved or shared.

01
Manual Cobb review
Place superior and inferior end-vertebra landmarks, then verify the live angle readout before saving.
02
Assisted candidate check
Use auto-detected landmarks as a candidate input, then refine placement with manual control.
03
SVA and export
Mark sagittal alignment context and export an annotated JPEG or PDF with case metadata.

Read StoryFrequently Asked Questions
Is this a diagnostic tool?
No. Cobb Angle Pro is a measurement aid. It assists with X-ray measurement workflows but does not diagnose disease or replace clinician judgment.
Where is my data stored?
Imported X-rays, annotations, and patient folders are stored locally on the device unless you choose to share or back them up.
Can I export annotated measurements?
Yes. Pro exports include the annotated image, case metadata, and a clinical-use reminder for review documentation.
Does assisted detection make the final call?
No. Assisted detection is presented as a candidate measurement to review and adjust before saving or exporting.
