An X-ray of the pelvis is a quick, non-invasive imaging test that visualizes the bones of the pelvis, including the hip bones, sacrum, and coccyx. It’s commonly used to diagnose fractures, dislocations, or degenerative conditions like arthritis. The procedure involves lying flat on a table while a low-dose radiation beam captures detailed images. No special preparation is typically required, though patients may need to remove metal objects. Results are interpreted by a radiologist to identify abnormalities. Pelvic X-rays are safe, with minimal radiation exposure, and help guide treatment for injuries or chronic conditions affecting mobility and stability.
