In the past, clinicians managing female pelvic floor disorders focused on functional assessment using urodynamics studies and urethral pressure profilometry. Anatomical assessment was made by clinical examination alone. Under special conditions when an imaging technique for anatomical assessment of the female pelvic floor disorder is perceived necessary, contrast X-ray techniques is used.1,2 Th...

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 ...

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...

INTRODUCTION Pelvic fractures can result in life-threatening hemorrhages. Therefore, pelvic fracture patients must usually be transferred to a trauma center for additional management. We attempted to analyze transferred pelvic fracture patients to determine which diagnostic modalities to use in different treatment settings. MATERIALS AND METHODS From May 1, 2008, to February 28, 2014, patient...

Endometriosis is defined by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Despite being a lead cause of chronic pelvic pain and infertility, its clinical presentation can vary, leading to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Extra-pelvic endometriosis is particularly difficult to diagnose owing to its ability to mimic other conditions. Endometrial tissue in a surgical...

Background: Recently, in approach to spinal pathologies, the whole spine should be considered as a biomechanicalunit. Studies have shown the great importance of sagittal and coronal balance and the relationship between the variousparts of spine together and pelvis. Former studies have shown a close relationship between spinopelvic parametersand sagittal balance. A complete und...

Measurements of cup alignment after total hip replacement (THR) surgery are typically performed on postoperative pelvic radiographs. Radiographic measurement of cup orientation depends on the position and orientation of the pelvis on the X-ray table, and its variability could introduce significant measurement errors. We have developed a tool to accurately measure 3D implant orientation from pos...

Method Fourteen standing biplanar radiographic files of asymptomatic and scoliotic patients have been recorded and treated in the frame of pelvis/spine studies. Radiographic examinations involved frontal and sagittal exposures grasped successively. A standard radiographic set up is used, involving a rotating platform, interposed between radiographic source and plate. Patients must stand motionl...

Background: Medical X-rays are the largest man-made source of public exposure to ionizing radiation. While the benefits of Computed Tomography (CT) are well known in accurate diagnosis, those benefits are not risk-free. CT is a device with higher patient dose in comparison with other conventional radiation procedures. Objective: This study is aimed at evaluating radiation dose to patients from ...
