23 mar 2023 · The sacrum anteroposterior (AP) view is used to demonstrate the sacrum and its articulations. The efficacy of this radiographic projection is debatable, with radiographers encouraged to follow department protocol when imaging this region 1 .
The sacrum AP view is a radiographic projection used to demonstrate the sacrum and its articulations.
23 mar 2023 · Detection of rotation on an AP axial sacroiliac joint image can be done by ensuring the midsagittal plane of the sacrum is aligned with the symphysis pubis. In a supine position, if the patient is rotated the mid-sagittal plane of the sacrum will move in the direction opposite from the movement of the symphysis pubis.
This ar-ticle reviews the sacral anatomy as well as discusses the role of imaging and imaging appearance of sacral frac-tures. Sacral fracture patterns are described along with both historic and newer classification systems for sacral fractures and current management of sacral fracture. Keywords Sacrum . Fracture .
Although conventional plain films, radio nuclide bone scans, and myelography were useful in certain cases, computed tomog raphy was found to be the procedure of choice in the workup of sacral problems. Materials and Methods. The computed tomographic (CT) scans of 15 patients with sacral abnormalities were analyzed.
1 sty 2001 · Cross-sectional imaging, particularly computed tomography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, plays a crucial role in identification, localization, and characterization of sacral lesions. Congenital lesions of the sacrum, including sacral agenesis and meningocele, are optimally imaged with MR.
The projections for the sacrum are axial anteroposterior with the beam 15 degrees toward the cephalad, and axial posteroanterior in the direction of the beam 15 degrees caudally. Some practitioners take steps to examine the sacrum with AP projections
