X-ray of the hips of a 40-year-old female, with dysplasia of her right hip. In the adult hip there are important landmarks to be recognized on plain film radiographs: [ 3 ] The iliopectineal or iliopubic line is formed by the arcuate line of the ilium and the superior border of the superior pubic ramus up to the pubic symphysis.
Klein's line or the line of Klein is a virtual line that can be drawn on an X-ray of an adolescent's hip parallel to the anatomically upper edge of the femoral neck.It was the first tool to aid in the early diagnosis of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), which if treated late or left untreated leads to crippling arthritis, leg length discrepancy and lost range of motion.

Projectional radiography ("X-ray")is often considered first line for FAI. [10] Anterior-posterior pelvis and a lateral image of the hip in question should be attained. [10] A 45-degree Dunn view is also recommended. [10] [19]
Typically, radiographs are taken of the hip from the front (AP view), and side (lateral view). Frog leg views are to be avoided, as they may cause severe pain and further displace the fracture. [5] In situations where a hip fracture is suspected but not obvious on x-ray, an MRI is the next test of choice.
[citation needed] SCFEs may be initially overlooked, because the first symptom is knee pain, referred from the hip. The knee is investigated and found to be normal. [7] The diagnosis requires x-rays of the pelvis, with anteriorposterior (AP) and frog-leg lateral views. [11]
It refers to the position of a penis as it relates to pathology on an X-ray of a pelvis. When the penis (visible on the X-ray as a shadow) points towards the same side as a unilateral medical condition such as a broken bone, this is considered a "positive John Thomas sign," and if the shadow points to the other side, it is a "negative John ...
Hip dysplasia can be diagnosed by ultrasound [44] and projectional radiography ("X-ray"). [45] Ultrasound imaging is generally preferred at up to 4 months due to limited ossification of the femoral head up until then, and is the most accurate method for imaging of the hip during the first few months after birth. However, in most instances ...
