OBJECTIVE Computed tomography (CT), rather than conventional 2-dimensional radiography, was used to scan and measure pelvic parameters. The results were compared with measurements using X-ray. METHODS Pelvic parameters were measured using both CT and X-ray in 254 patients who underwent both abdomino-pelvic CT and X-ray at the pelvic site. We assessed the similarity of the pelvic parameters be...

BACKGROUND Pelvic x-ray is a routine part of the primary survey of polytraumatized patients according to Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) guidelines. However, pelvic CT is the gold standard imaging technique in the diagnosis of pelvic fractures. This study was conducted to confirm the safety of a modified ATLS algorithm omitting pelvic x-ray in hemodynamically stable polytraumatized patients...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the diagnostic accuracy and the interobserver reproducibility of pelvic x-rays in the diagnosis of successful bilateral sterilization with Essure after a 3-month follow-up period. DESIGN Interobserver study. SETTING Outpatient department of obstetrics and gynecology in a Dutch teaching hospital. PATIENT(S) Patients with successful bilateral Essure placement. INTERV...

PURPOSE To retrospectively compare three-dimensional ultrasonography (3D-US) and pelvic X-rays to assess the position of tubal sterilization microinserts. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-four patients who underwent tubal sterilization with Essure(®) microinserts in our institution were included. The microinserts'position was evaluated three months after the procedure using 3D-US and pelvic X-rays....

Aim: This study aimed to identify the most common mistakes made during pelvic radiography in pediatric patients and give advice physicians technicians on how avoid these mistakes.
 Material Method:Between 2016 2020, 1150 radiographs (in for any reason) were analyzed by two independent orthopaedic surgeons. Radiographs taken trauma not included due patient's discomfort agitation. Interobser...

Blunt pelvic traumata are common injuries especially among elderly patients. It is well known, that standard x-ray diagnostics fail to detect all fractures. We set up a retrospective study to gain profound knowledge of the actual informative value of a single, plain a.p. pelvic radiograph in these injuries for detecting acetabular and proximal femoral fractures as a standardized starting point ...
