Chapter 5 Measurements And Calculations
2D Hip Joint
This is a basic measurement that is available in all diagnosis modes. You can measure the angle of two
straight lines to a straight line in a 2D image. This measurement is commonly used in the obstetrics
application.
1. Use the Softmenu switch [4] 2D Hip Joint. “2D Hip Joint” is displayed on the left side of the screen.
2. Use the trackball and the Set button on the control panel to specify the rst straight line.
X
Place the cursor at a desired position with the trackball, and press the Set button.
3. Repeat the above process to specify two other straight lines.
4. The angle between them will be calculated automatically.
X
α: The angle between the rst and second straight lines.
X
β: The angle between the rst and third straight lines.
5. When the measurement is nished, its result is shown on the screen. The angles α and β, and the
Hip Joint Type are displayed on the screen.
Please refer to the table below for Hip Joint Type information:
Type α β
1a 60 ≤ α < 90 0 < β < 55
1b 60 ≤ α < 90 55 ≤ β < 90
2a/b 50 ≤ α < 60 0 < β < 90
2c 43 ≤ α < 50 77 ≤ β < 90
d 43 ≤ α < 50 0 < β < 77
3/4 0 < α < 43
