Pelvis x-ray x-ray
Definition
A pelvis x-ray is a picture of the bones surrounding the hip area. The pelvis connects the legs to the body.
Alternative Names
X-ray - pelvis
Why the Pelvis x-ray is Performed
The x-ray is used to detect fractures, tumors, or degenerative conditions of bones in the hips, pelvis, and upper legs.
How the Pelvis x-ray is Performed
The test is performed in a hospital radiology department or in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technician. You will be asked to lie down on the table. The pictures are then taken, with the body repositioned to provide different views.
How to Prepare for the Pelvis x-ray
Inform the health care provider if you are pregnant. Remove all jewelry. You will wear a hospital gown.
How the Pelvis x-ray Will Feel
There is no discomfort except possibly from positioning the body.
Risks
There is low radiation exposure. However, pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of x-rays.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results may suggest:
- Pelvic fractures
- Tumors of the ilium, ischium, or pubis (the bones of the pelvis)
- Sacroiliitis (inflammation of the area where the sacrum joins the ilium bone)
- Ankylosing spondylitis
