Computed Tomography of the Osseous Pelvis

Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) was used for study of the osseous pelvis in 43 patients with definitive pathological or clinical follow-up. CT accurately characterized and determined extent of bone and soft tissue involvement; neoplasms and other disease processes, e.g., sacroiliac joint disease, were well localized. In trauma cases CT identified, localized and characterized fracture fragments and bone or joint displacement. CT was judged useful or definitive in 80% of all lesions and 96% of neoplasms studied.
