Technique

Anteroposterior projection with the patient supine and feet rotated slightly inward.

Purpose

To screen for pelvic ring fractures, hip dislocations, or degenerative joint disease.

Area Covered

The entire pelvis, including both hip joints and the lower lumbar spine.

Key Clinical Point

The standard baseline for evaluating pelvic trauma or chronic hip pain.

It shows the entire pelvic girdle, including both hip joints, the sacrum, and the pubic bones.

Yes, it is the primary test for diagnosing hip fractures, especially after a fall.

Usually no, but you may need to change into a gown to ensure no buttons or zippers hide the bones.

Turning your toes inward helps the hip joints "open up" so the radiologist can see the neck of the femur more clearly.

While radiation is low, tell the technician if you might be pregnant, as the pelvis is near reproductive organs.
