Unsure: The back level is called a scoliometer. It is generally considered positive when it is over 7 degrees. A cobb angle is drawn on a pa radiograph, which is generally obtained on people with scoliometer ratings over 7 degrees. As such it is difficult to say if the scoliosis is mild moderate or severe based on a scoliometer reading.
