A pelvis X-ray is a painless and non-invasive image diagnostics test that provides high-quality images of the pelvic cavity. 

This pelvic cavity of the human anatomy connects the legs to the upper body and plays a critical role in the movement. It also houses the vital reproductive and digestive organs. 

This digital imaging test is conducted to ascertain the causes of unexplained pelvic pain, fractures and abnormalities.

The pelvis X-ray is typically performed in case of trauma and accidents and is considered to be one of the most accurate image diagnostics tests for the pelvic cavity. 

The pelvis X-ray uses radioactive beams that pass through the body, wherein the various body parts block the radiation, thus translating it into an image.

As the pelvis X-ray scan uses radiation for the procedure, it’s a common misconception that it can lead to cell mutations, causing cancer. 

While radiation is indeed absorbed by the body, the radiation levels are extremely low, thus making it a safe image diagnostic test. 

Caution: The pelvis X-ray is not recommended for pregnant women or those planning pregnancy due to the radiation emitted during the procedure.
