Pelvic Imaging and Fracture Assessment

The space between the iliac bones is wider in females.

The angle between the pubic bones is greater than 90 degrees in females.

Ankylosing Spondylitis is a condition that causes early fusion of the sacroiliac (SI) joints and can lead to a 'bamboo spine'.

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a condition that causes increased hip joint space and misalignment.

Osteoarthritis is a condition that causes spurring and narrowing of the joint space.

A type of X-ray projection that is commonly used to visualize the hip joint and surrounding structures. It involves positioning the patient so that the X-ray beam goes through the pelvis and hip joint.

A method for assessing a hip fracture by looking for external rotation of the affected hip. This indicates a fracture.

A type of X-ray projection used to visualize the pelvis and assess potential hip fractures.

A method for assessing the acetabulum by tilting the X-ray beam towards the affected side.

A specialized imaging technique used to visualize the hip joint and assess potential fractures or other abnormalities. It is specifically used for assessment of the acetabulum.

A radiographic view of the pelvis taken from the front, showing the pelvic bones and surrounding structures.

The opening at the bottom of the hip bone, where the pelvic bone joins the femur.

An image artifact, often caused by image processing or patient position.

A radiographic view taken from below the pelvis, showing the pelvic inlet (the top opening of the pelvis).

A radiographic view taken from above the pelvis, showing the pelvic inlet.

The largest foramen in the human body, located in the pelvis, formed by the ischium and pubis.

The imaginary plane dividing the pelvis into the false and true pelvis.

The true pelvis, also referred to as the lesser pelvis, supports the lower abdominal organs and forms the birth canal.

The false pelvis, also referred to as the greater pelvis, is formed mainly by the ala of the ilium.

A pelvic structure that is wider in females, indicated by an obtuse public arch (greater than 90 degrees).
