When using automatic exposure control (AEC) for an AP pelvis projection the left and right ionization chambers must be activated. The center chamber is over the less dense pelvic cavity, which may lead to an underexposed image. A patient enters the ER with a pelvis injury resulting from a motor vehicle accident. The initial AP pelvis projection demonstrates a possible defect or fracture of the left acetabulum. No other fractures are detected and the patient is able to move comfortably. What additional projections can be taken to demonstrate a possible acetabular fracture? The PA axial oblique (teufel method) or posterior oblique (judet method) can be taken to demonstrate aspects of the acetabulum more completely.

What modifications are needed during the repeat exposure? should be 12 degrees cephalad the longest and strongest bone in the body. consists of four essential parts, the head, neck, and greater and lesser trochanters. is rounded and smooth for articulation with the hip bones. It contains a depression, or pit, near its center called the fovea capitilis, wherein a major ligament called the ligament of the head of the femur, or the ligament capitus femoris, is attached to the head of the femur. is a strong pyramidal process of bone that connects the head with the body or shaft in the region of the trochanters. Greater and lesser trochanters the greater trochanter is a large prominence that is located superiorly and laterally to the femoral shaft and is a palpable bony landmark. The lesser trochanter is a smaller, blunt, conical eminence that projects medially and posteriorly from the junction of the neck and shaft of femur. The trochanters are joined posteriorly by a thick ridge called the intertrochanteric crest. The body and shaft of the femur is long and almost cylindrical. The angles of the neck to the shaft on an average adult is approximately
125 degrees, with a variance of +-15 depending on the width of the pelvis and the length of the lower limbs. A taller person would have a femur that is longer and more verticle. the angle would be closer to 140 degrees. For a shorter person the angle would be closer to 110 to 115 degrees. On an average adult in the anatomic position, the longitudinal plane of the femur is about 10 degrees from vertical. The vertical angle is nearer 15 degrees on someone with a wide pelvic and shorter limbs and
only about 5 degrees on a long legged person. means basin, serves as the base of the trunk and forms the connection between the vertebral column and lower limbs. The pelvis consists of four bones–two hips bones (ossa coxae, also called innominate bones), one sacrum and one coccyx. Pelvis versus pelvic girdle The pelvic girdle consists of only the two hip bones, whereas the term pelvis includes four bones, the right and left hip (innominate) bones, the sacrum, and the coccyx. is composed of three divisions: 1) Ilium 2) Ischium 3) pubis is composed of the body and an ala, or wing. The body of the ilium is the more inferior portion near the acetabulum. The ala or wing portion, is the thin and flared superior part of the ilium. The two most important positioning landmarks of these borders and projections are the iliac crest and the ASIS. Is the part of the hip bone that lies inferior and posterior to the acetabulum. Each ischium is divided into a body and a ramus. The superior portion of the body of the ischium makes up the posteriorinferior two-fifths of the acetabulum, The lower portion of the body of the ischium (formally called the superior ramus) projects caudally and medially from the acetabulum, ending at the ischial tuberosity. Projecting anteriorly from the ischial
tuberosity is the ramus of the ischium. The ischial tuberosities bear most of the weight of the body when when an individual sits. the greater trochanter and the superior border of the symphysiis pubis are at around the same level. A plane through the brim of the pelvis divides the pelvic area into two cavities. The pelvic brim is defined by the superior portion of the symphysis pubis anteriorly and by the superior, prominent part of the sacrum posteriorly.
The general area above or superior to the oblique plane through the pelvic brim is termed the greater, or false, pelvis. The flared portion of the pelvis, which is formed primarily by the alae, or wings, of the ilia, forms the lateral and posterior limits of the false pelvis, whereas the abdominal muscles of the anterior wall define the anterior limits. The lower abdominal organs rest on the floor of the greater pelvis, as does the fetus within a pregnant uterus. The oblique plane defined by the brim of the pelvis is termed the inlet, or superior aperture, of the true pelvis. The outlet, or inferior aperture, of the true pelvis is defined by the two ischial tuberosities and the tip of the coccyx. The three sides of the triangularly shaped outlet are formed by a line between the ischial tuberosities and a line between each ischial tuberosity and the coccyx. The area between the inlet and outlet of the true pelvis is termed the cavity of the true pelvis. During the birth process, the baby must travel through the inlet, cavity, and outlet of the true pelvis. During a routine delivery, the baby’s head first travels though the pelvic inlet, then to the midcavity, and finally through the outlet before it exits in a forward direction. an examination performed on a pregnant woman, whereby specific type of metal ruler was placed next to the pelvic for AP and lateral projections. male versus female pelvis the female pelvis is wider, with the ilia more flared and more shallow from front to back. The male pelvis is narrower, deeper, and less flared. Sacroiliac joints–joints between the sacrum and each ilium wide flat joints located on each side obliquely between the sacrum and each ilium. is the articulation of the right and left pubic bones located in the midline of the anterior pelvis. The most superior anterior aspect of this joint is palpable. Three divisions of each hip bone are separate bones in a child but come together in the acetabulum by fusing during the middle teens to become completely indistinguishable in an adult. is classified as a synovial type, which is characterized by a large fibrous capsule that contains synovial fluid. It is freely movable, or
diarthrodial, joint and is the truest example of a spheroid (ball an socket) movement type. Location of Head and Neck A long standing tradition method used to locate the femoral head and neck is first to determine the midpoint line between the ASIS and the symphysis pubis. The neck is approximately 2.5 inches, and the head 1.5 inches distal and at right angles to the midpoint of this line. Appearance of Proximal Femur in anatomic Position The proximal head and neck of the femur project approximately 15 to 20 degrees anteriorly or forward with respect to the rest of the femur and the lower leg. Thus, when the leg is in the true anatomic position, as for a true AP leg, the proximal femur actually is rotated posteriorly 15 to 20 degrees. Therefore, the femoral neck appears shortened and the lesser trochanter is visible when the leg and ankle are in true anatomic postion. By internally rotating the entire leg lower limb, the proximal femur and hip joint are
positioned in a true AP projection. The neck of the femur is now parallel to the imagine surace and will not appear foreshortened. The femoral neck is a common fracture site for an older patient who has fallen.The typical sign for such a fracture is the external rotation of the involved foot, where the lesser trochanater is clearly visualized in profile. Summary: Effect of Lower Limb Rotation
Exposure Factors and patient dose To reduce total radiation dose to the patient, a higher kV range of 80 to 85 Kv may be used for hip and pelvic examinations. This higher kV technique, with lower mAs, results in a lower radiation dose to the patient. Higher kV, however, decreases contrast (analog imaging only) and may not be advisable. Pelvic and hip radiographic examinations are not performed often on children, except on newborns with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) It is critical that the
injured limb not be moved if the leg is externally rotated. An AP projection of both hips for comparison should be taken first, without movement of the affected limb, to check for fractures. This step may be followed by an inferiorsuperior (Danelius-Miller) projection of the affected hip. The use of a compensating filter for axiolateral projections of the hip will allow better penetration of the femoral head while preventing overpenetration of the femoral neck and shaft region. is helpful for studying the relationship of the femoral head to the acetabulum
before hip surgery or for performing a postreduction study of a development hip dislocation. useful for evaluating newborns for hip dislocation and for assessing joint stability during movement of the lower limbs. useful in providing early evidence of certain bony pathologic processes, such as occult fractures, bone infections, metastatic carcinoma, or other metastatic or primary malignancies. for effect is fusion of the SI joints. The diseases causes extensive calcification of the anterior longitudinal ligament of the spinal column.It is progressive and works up the spinal column creating a radiographic characteristic known as bamboo spine. Males are most often affected. Avulsion fractures of the pelvis difficult to diagnose, usually affects athletes who experience sudden. forceful, or unbalanced contraction of the tendinous and muscular attachment. a malignant tumor of the cartilage, it usually occurs in the pelvis. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) dislocations caused at birth. The malignancy spreads to the bone via the circulatory system. degenerative joint disease because of the closed ring structure of the pelvis, a severe blow or trauma to one side of the pelvis may result in a fracture site away from the site of the primary trauma, thus requiring clear radiographic visualization of the entire pelvis.
