conclusion various filters are needed to improve the image quality. in this study, seven different filters were implemented and investigated on both noisy and noise-free images. background developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) can be detected with ultrasonography (usg) images. however, the accuracy of this method is dependent on the skill of the radiologist. radiologists measure the hip join...

background: developmental dysplasia of hip (ddh) is one of the congenital anomalies in newborns that if not diagnosed and treated on time can lead to a severe disability. although clinical examination is a very useful way for screening, but in some patients, a confirmatory diagnostic method such as ultrasonography is needed. the aim of the present study is to compare the sensitivity and specifi...

The aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of plain radiography in the detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip, using hip ultrasonography as a reference standard. A retrospective review was made in 44 infants ranging in age from 4 weeks to 50 weeks (mean age: 21.7 weeks). Both radiographic and ultrasonographic images were obtained for 86 hips. Radiography and...

background: developmental dysplasia of hip (ddh) is a common childhood disorder, and ultrasonography examination is routinely used for screening purposes. in this study, we aimed to evaluate a modified combined static and dynamic   ultrasound technique for the detection of ddh and to compare with the results of static and dynamic ultrasound techniques.       methods: in this cross-sectional stu...

INTRODUCTION In the investigation of hip development in newborns and infants, ultrasonography and radiography are widely used, but their optimal roles in this setting remain controversial. CASE REPORT Here we describe an 8.5-month-old infant who had undergone hip radiography at a primary care facility and was referred to our hospital to be evaluated for developmental dysplasia of the hip. Ult...

Developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) is rare condition occurs in growing hip with structural abnormalities. Early finding and management provides the best possible result. Hip dysplasia into teens and later life may result in irregular gait, reduced the strength and generate many hip and knee disease. Developmental dysplasia should be treated soon after death. Different diagnostics test for Dev...

Ultrasonography of the hip was performed sequentially by two different examiners in 75 infants. The ultrasound strips were reviewed twice by three paediatric orthopaedic surgeons and classified by the Graf method. The intraobserver and interobserver agreement between the interpretations was analysed using simple and weighted kappa coefficients calculated for agreement on the Graf classification...
