Abstract
The obesity leads to be the result of the weakening of anatomical structure as well as the gravity effect. And, the obesity interferes with normal sagittal balance and fails to maintain a straight posture with minimal energy. Therefore, the obesity can be an important factor in causing back pain by changing the lumbar lordosis. In this study, we will present an appropriate angle of incidence for obese people to reduce the image distortion of L4, L5 during a general anteroposterior radiography examination. To reduce image distortion according to the change of lordosis, the angle of incidence was applied 9 ° and 21 ° to L4 and L5 vertebra body when obesity and low back pain (LBP) perform the general anteroposterior radiography examination.
