Thus it is important to depict entire anatomical structure with an acceptable image quality. This study was done for quantitative evaluation of pelvis radiographs by depiction of the anatomical and physical details. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, about 11.5 pelvis radiographs were selected over two months period. Eight image quality criteria i.e. anatomical coverage, sharp bony detail, rotation, collimation, artifact, beam centering, SI joint visibility and gonad protection were included. Results: Out of the 115 radiographs, only about 13 fulfilled all the image quality criteria, the rest 87 lacked either one or more of the criteria. Conclusions: To a great extent the quality of the pelvic radiographs depends on the skill of radiographer, equipment condition Ex-ray machine CR reader) and also co-operation of patients.
