Özet:

 Pelvic radiographs in dogs have been used for assessments of pelvic bone, hip joint, and sacral bone in orthopaedic examinations. Thus, symmetric radiographs must be a goal to minimise medical errors. Despite the importance of symmetric radiographs, ventrodorsally pelvic radiographs are routinely evaluated using the symmetric appearance of the obturator foramen and wing of the ilium. This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the symmetry of pelvic radiographs in dogs. For this purpose, 100 pelvic radiographs were reevaluated by linear, area, and circumference measurements. The differences in percentages were remarkable for width and area values for both the ilium and obturator foramen between the left and right sides. In terms of the difference in the percentage of iliac wing width, two-thirds of radiographs showed asymmetry up to 20 and higher in the remaining one-third of radiographs. The findings of this research indicate that completely symmetrical positioning on pelvic radiographs is often not obtained.
