Say, can we maybe get someone to post photos of correct positioning of hip x-rays, with a critique on that set and then we would all have something to compare too???
It might help some of the people, newbies and others on here, understand what is looked for...anyone have a set they would like to share???
I would like to learn more also.
Thanks, Steph

I'd be interested in that as well. I am getting my bitch who turned 2 today xrayed tomorrow for both her hips and elbows and I am sure I will be posting the hips at least to get individuals opinions on this board :-)

Explanation to above great picture.

SYMMETRY:
The image of the L must be EXACT mirror image of the R . That means the holes in the pelvis and where femur crosses the pelvis on the R and L is of the same size and shape. Everything ont L and R is of the same size and shape. Spine is the axes of the mirror image.

ANGLES:
the movable parts must be only parallel (Femurs , spine, up and down axes of pelvis )or perpendicular( horizontal axes of pelvis to femur).

KNEE CAPS
Must be on the picture and
must be in the middle of the knee like a bull's eye. PERIOD!

TECH.
1.Picture must be perfectly in focus and not fuzzy.(sharpness)
2.there must be total black and total white color (proper contrast)
3.film must be developed in fresh chemicals (for the details)
4. digital x rays are best.

one other thing i would like to see is for people to post these xray pics in the photo section of each dog right here on PDB.
i plan to do this myself the next dog i have xrayed.

It might be nice for a special place to post and ask questions specifically on exrays?

Thanks Prager for the great explanation. It certainly makes more viewing the xray more understandable.

Thanks to Dragongsd for the xray with the lines superimposed, which also lends itself to easier interpretation.
