A mild convex right thoracic scoliosis is when the spine is curved toward the right. It can be seen on an x-ray of the spine.

I wouldn't be searching for information if I knew the answer.
Concave means inward and Convex means outward, therefore "concave right scoliosis" means that there is an inward curve to the right in the spine
Alok Aggarwal has written: 'Finding minimal convex nested polygons' -- subject(s): Accessible book
An incident ray that passes through the vertex of a convex lens will continue in a straight line without being refracted. This is because the lens is thinnest at the vertex and has minimal effect on the path of light passing through this point.
a polygon is convex
A non convex is a concave and a convex is differently shaped
projector have concave or convex
the union of two convex sets need not be a convex set.
convex
Scoliosis curves are measured and expressed by degree. The higher the degree the more the scoliosis is said to be "severe".The normal thoracolumbar spine is relatively straight in the sagittal plane and has a double curve in the coronal plane. The thoracic spine in convex posteriorly (kyphosis) and the lumbar spine is convex anteriorly (lordosis). Normally there should be no lateral curvature of the spine.Double Major Curve: is difficult to identify as it causes only minor visual distortion. A double major curve is made up of two curves with nearly equal angles.Double Thoracic Curve: For type 2 DT curves, the general rule is to fuse both the PT and MT regions posteriorly. The upper end vertebra of fusion is usually either T2 (left shoulder high before surgery) or T3 (shoulders level, or, rarely, right shoulder high before surgery).Lumbar Major Curve: effects the lower part of the spine and often curves to the left.Main Thoracic Curve: or type 1 MT curves, the general rule is to fuse only the MT region, posteriorly, anteriorly, or, if occasionally required, circumferentially.Thoracolumbar Curve: is longer than most and extends from the upper to the lower spine. It may curve either to the right or the left.Triple Major Curve: For type 4 TM curves, the general rule is to fuse all three regions. Either the MT or TL/L region can be the major curve, but all three regions are structural.You have:Idiopathic Scoliosis - unknown causeCongenital Scoliosis - Abnormal lateral curvatureAdult Scoliosis - Scoliosis is discovered after the patient has stopped growingDegenerative Scoliosis - The adult who has pre-existing scoliosis will show signs of wear and tear or osteoarthritis (can happen to anyone as we age) - but because of the deformity, their spine starts to collapse and their curve can progress. The other type of person has no scoliosis to start with, but as he or she ages, the spine starts to show signs of wear and tear and it collapses asymmetrically. These individuals actually develop scoliosis later in life, even though they didn't have a pre-existing condition.Neuromuscular Scoliosis - is due to loss of control of the nerves or muscles that support the spine. The most common causes of this type of Scoliosis are cerebral palsy & muscular dystrophy.
