2023年3月23日 · This view demonstrates the femur in its natural anatomical position allowing for assessment of suspected dislocations, fractures, localising foreign bodies and osteomyelitis within the long bone. Depending on departments, this view can be crucial for orthopaedic surgeons to determine the length of the femur for prosthetic purposes.

Distal femur radiograph demonstrates the distal 2/3rd of the femoral shaft, femoral condyles and epicondyles, knee joint, and proximal tibia and fibula. Femur AP view is performed to look for evidence of pathology or injury in the femur.

What is a hip X-ray? A hip X-ray (radiograph) is a medical imaging test that creates a picture of your hip joints and pelvic bones. The picture shows the inner structure (anatomy) of your hips in black and white. Calcium in your bones takes in more radiation, so …

2021年9月10日 · There are two standard projections produced when a hip X-ray is performed: The AP view obtains a view of the whole pelvis, usually from the femoral shaft to above the ilium. The patient is either standing or supine, and usually, have both legs internally rotated so as not to obscure the femoral neck length.

2019年6月7日 · A femur x-ray, also known as femur series or femur radiograph, is a set of two x-rays performed of the entire femur. It is performed to look for evidence of injury (or pathology) affecting the femur. It may be performed as a second test after a hip or knee x-ray has demonstrated a femoral fracture. Reference article. This is a summary article.

2023年9月29日 · A femur X-ray is a medical imaging test that uses radiation to capture an image of the femur bone, which is the long bone located in the thigh. Doctors commonly order this type of X-ray to evaluate a range of conditions, such as fractures, tumors, infections, and arthritis affecting the femur.

A femur X-ray can help doctors find the cause of pain, limping, tenderness, swelling, or deformity of the upper leg. It can show a broken bone, and after a broken bone has been set, it can show if the bone is aligned and if it has healed properly.

2012年11月2日 · Lateral view of femur demonstrating mid and distal bone. a unilateral hip is recommended in trauma patient. The knee joint is included in radiograph to demonstrate possible fracture. The patient's hip is placed on the cathode end of x-ray tube to prevent anode heel effect.

2012年11月1日 · Mid- and distal femur is demonstrated including knee joint for detection and avaluation of fractures and/or bone lessions. Because of anode heel effect, place hip or head end of patient at cathode end of x-ray beam. Place lead shield over pelvic area to ensure correct gonadal shielding because of proximity to primary beam.

X-ray images of the lower limb bone are the most commonly used imaging modality for clinical studies, and segmentation of the femur and tibia in an X-ray image is helpful...
