Statistical quantification of hip radiograph assessment using Shenton line femur neck length ratio
Identification of a poorly positioned hip radiograph often requires a subjective assessment by the radiographer, which, due to the observer dependency of this method, may have conflicting opinions between radiographers. A quantitative approach may be a better personnel independent approach for assessing an optimally positioned hip radiograph. A Shenton line length femur neck length ratio (SLFLR) could be used to achieve this, which is the aim of this study.
