Degree of scoliosis?: I do not know deglree of curvature.. Mild scoliosis less than 5 degrees may not necessarily be reported by some radiologists. If significant curvature radiologist should report it, Some curvatures are sometimes positional and not fixed.Why would you do radiographs twice a year? Were images following some other disease process?

Varies: There could be.a number of possibilities. Possibly the size of the curve was so small they did not mention it the first time. Possibly it has gotten larger. Don’t hesitate to discuss directly with your doctor.
