- Abstract
Objective: To improve the algorithm of pelvic X-ray study to enhance the efficiency of diagnosis of pelvic bone fractures., Subject and Methods: A total of 1.415 patients with pelvic injury were examined. Multi-projection X-ray study (an Apelem radiodiagnostic unit) and multislice spiral computed tomography (an Aquilion-32 multislice spiral scanner (Toshiba, Japan)) were performed., Results and Discussion: An algorithm for X-ray diagnosis of injuries of the pelvis and acetabulum has been elaborated, which will be able to significantly specify fracture detection., Conclusion: In the first diagnostic step in treating pelvic injuries, all patients must undergo multiprojection X-ray study in the anteroposterior and oblique projections, which will be able to reduce the percentage of diagnostic errors from 30 to 5%.
