*Pelvis AP:
Patient Positioning:
With the patient supine, place the arms at the sides or crossed superiorly on the chest; to provide
head pillow and under-the-knee support; can be done standing up with correction of the
lower limbs to rotate the proximal femurs in anatomical position and without suspicion of fracture.
Position of the Party:
• Align the patient's mid-sagittal plane to the centerline of the table and the RC.
• Ensure that the pelvis is not rotated; the distance from the top of the table for each EIAS must be equal.
• Separate legs and feet, then internally rotate the long axes of the foot and lower limbs by 15°
at 20° (see previous caution). The technologist may have to place sandbags between the heels
and tape the tops of the feet together or use additional sandbags against the feet to maintain this.
position.
RC:
RC is perpendicular to RI, directed midway between the level of the AIS and the symphysis pubis. That is
approximately 5 cm below the EIAS level. (see NOTE).
• RI Center for RC.
