Erect pelvic radiography with fat tissue displacement: Impact on radiation dose and image quality

Pelvic radiography is one of the most frequent general radiography imaging procedures. Pelvic radiography is usually performed in the supine position, but in some cases erect imaging is performed. The aim of this study was to determine whether radiation dose and image quality differ between two different erect pelvic radiographic procedures in overweight and obese patients, with and without displacement of anterior adipose tissue.
