Document Summary

Cr angled caudally (to the feet) 40 degrees. Ensure iliac crests are at the top of collimation. Angling the tube increases the sid so bring it down otherwise exposure must be increased. Ensure pelvis is not rotated- asis equidistant from table top. Internally rotate long axes of feet and lower limbs 15-20 degrees- Ensure pelvis is not rotated (asis equidistant from table top) Patient supine with msp centered to midline of the table. Include the iliac crests to below the pubic symphysis kvp=80-85 mas=12-20. Patient in supine position with msp centered to midline of table. Rotate patient 15-25 degrees posterior oblique, with the side of interest elevated. Centre the ir to the cr, at the level of the femoral heads, with the top of the ir at the level of the iliac crests. Place plantar surfaces of feet together and abduct both femurs 40-45 degrees from vertical, ensuring both femurs are abducted the same amount.
