Service Providers for X-ray of Pelvis AP & Frog Leg View
An X-ray of the pelvis with AP (Anteroposterior) and Frog Leg views is used to assess the bones and joints of the pelvis, hips, and surrounding structures. The AP view captures the pelvis from the front, highlighting fractures, dislocations, or other abnormalities. The Frog Leg view involves the patient lying on their back with knees bent and thighs abducted, allowing a clear view of the hip joints, especially the femoral head and acetabulum. This imaging helps diagnose conditions like hip fractures, arthritis, or congenital hip problems. No special preparation is usually required, though you may need to remove metal items.
