X-ray Pelvis Both Hips

What is an X-ray Pelvis Both Hips Test?

In a pelvis X-ray, a machine sends a beam of radiation through the pelvic bones surrounding the hip area, and an image is made on a particular film or a computer. This picture shows the two hip bones, the sacrum and the coccyx (tailbone).

Why is it done? 

An X-ray of the pelvis can help doctors figure out what is causing pain, swelling, or deformity in the pelvis, hip, or upper leg. It can also show if bones are broken after an accident.

When surgery is needed, an X-ray can help the doctor plan for it and check how it went afterward. It can also help find other problems, like cysts, tumours, and infections of the pelvic bones that are getting worse.

What is the procedure for the pelvic and hip radiograph tests?

The X-Ray technician will explain. 

How does one prepare for the test? 

• Wear loose-fitting clothing. No preparation is needed.
• If you are pregnant, notify your technician, as radiation may harm the baby.
