Evaluation of errors in measurements of infantile hip radiograph using digitally reconstructed radiograph from three-dimensional MRI

ConclusionsRadiographic measurements of hip in infants were highly influenced by pelvic movement. AI was influenced by pelvic tilt; CEA and MP were influenced by both pelvic tilt and rotation. We need to keep in mind that infantile hip radiographs could have about ±5° errors in AI and CEA.
