Pelvis Flashcards

1
Q

Anatomy: Pelvis and Upper Femora
AP Projection
Patient Position

A
  • Supine
    Part Position:
  • Center MSP to the midline of the grid
  • Medially rotate feet and lower limbs 15 to 20 degrees (if no trauma or other pathological factor)
  • Heels placed 8 - 10 inches (20 - 24 cm) apart
  • Places femoral necks parallel with IR
  • Equal ASIS-to-table distance on both
    sides
  • Ensures the pelvis is not rotated
  • Upper border of IR or light field 1 to 11⁄2 inches (2.5 to 3,8 cm) above crests
