For inter-examiner repeatability, two observers blinded to each other's results analysed 10 <em>in vivo</em><span> lumbar spine fluoroscopy flexion and extension motion sequences for range of translation using automated tracking algorithms. For intra-examiner repeatability, one observer performed the analysis twice. Accuracy was calculated as the root-mean-square (RMS) difference between the known calibration model characteristics and the results acquired from the fluoroscopic sequences. Repeatability was calculated as agreement by standard errors of measurement (SEM) and 95% limits of agreement and reliability by intra class correlation coefficients (ICC) for each inter-vertebral level (L2-S1) from the </span><em>in vivo</em> motion sequences.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The RMS error in measuring translation against the reference standard was under 0.8<!--> <span>mm in respect to a standard lumbar vertebra of 35</span> <!-->mm depth.
