SagittalMeter Lite
This application assists medical practitioners in measuring crucial sagittal balance parameters directly from sagittal X-rays. It helps analyze spine problems and pre-operative planning by calculating pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, and sacral slope.
- Measure sagittal balance parameters
- Directly use phone on X-rays
- Calculate Pelvic Incidence (PI)
- Calculate Pelvic Tilt (PT)
- Calculate Sacral Slope (SS)
- Aid in spine problem analysis

SagittalMeter is an educative app to easily measure sagittal balance parameters, by directly placing your phone on the sagittal X-Rays. The sagittal balance is an imperative factor to take into consideration for all practitioners treating spine problems and particularly for surgeons during the pre-operative phase. The compensatory mechanisms of a sagittal unbalanced spine may prevent a successful surgery outcome. A fundamental understanding of a correct sagittal alignment is strongly recommended in determining the correct use of fusion or non fusion devices. SagittalMeter enables you to measure 3 fundamental angles which are essential to analyze sagittal alignment: • Pelvic incidence (PI) • Pelvic tilt (PT) • Sacral slope (SS)
