An X-Ray Pelvis with Both Hips (AP + LAT) is a diagnostic imaging test that captures the pelvis and both hip joints from two angles:
• AP (Anteroposterior) View – from front to back
• Lateral (LAT) View – from the side
These combined views provide a comprehensive assessment of the bony structures, joints, and alignment of the pelvis and both hips.
This test is commonly done to detect or assess:
• Fractures or dislocations of the hip or pelvis
• Osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, or degenerative changes
• Hip dysplasia or developmental abnormalities
• Post-operative evaluation (e.g., after hip replacement)
• Tumors, infections, or bone lesions
Test Preparation
• No special preparation or fasting is needed.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing or be prepared to change into a gown.
• Remove all metallic objects from the pelvic area:
o Belts
o Pants with zippers or buttons
o Jewelry, piercings, or waist chains
o Wallets, coins, or electronic devices
• Inform the radiology team if:
o You are pregnant or might be pregnant
o You have any metal implants, prosthetic hips, or recent surgeries
