"The AP pelvis view is a routine view for paediatric patients to examine the hip joints, proximal femora, iliac crests and pelvic ring. The complications of pelvic pathology in paediatrics can significantly affect the child's future, highlighting the importance of proper patient positioning 1."
"Aside from trauma and diagnosing suspected fracture and dislocation, the paediatric AP pelvis view is most commonly requested for diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE). This view allows for pelvic radiograph lines (Shenton's line, Perkin's line and Hilgenreiner's line) to be drawn; demonstrating either normal or abnormal alignment of the pelvis."

"this will require clear instructions for the parents to follow so that they do not allow rotation of the child's pelvis or motion artifact from kicking"

"Preparing the room beforehand (set up the detector, exposure and prepare lead gowns) is extremely beneficial for pelvis imaging as young children will often begin to cry the moment they are placed supine."
