Ultrasoundįirst-line imaging modality for assessing both the male and female pelvic viscera. Useful for imaging the bony pelvis and can be used in contrast studies, for example, urethrograms or intravenous pyelograms (IVP). female: ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, female urethra.male: prostate, male urethra, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts, ductus deferens.common: rectum, urinary bladder, ureters.The visceral contents of the pelvis is different between the sexes due to the difference in gonadal descent and gonadal tube formation 2. greater pelvis (or false or major pelvis) is the expanded portion of the cavity situated superior and anterior to the pelvic brim.lesser pelvis (or true or minor pelvis) is inferior to the pelvic brim and lies between the pelvic inlet and the pelvic outlet.The pelvic cavity is bounded by the bony pelvis and the pelvic musculature and primarily contains reproductive organs and the rectum. The pelvic cavity is inferior part of the abdominopelvic cavity and is in direct connection with the abdominal cavity. posterolaterally: sacrotuberous ligaments.anteriorly: pubic arch, inferior margin of the pubic symphysis, pubic rami, ischial rami.The pelvic outlet is formed by the following structures 2: The pelvic brim defines the pelvic inlet and the following structures contribute to it 2: platypelloid ('flat female') pelvis (5%): short AP diameters, long transverse diameters and wide infrapubic angle.

android pelvis (20%): male type with conical shaped pelvic cavity and heart-shaped pelvic inlet.anthropoid pelvis (25%): long AP diameters, short transverse diameters and narrow infrapubic angle.gynaecoid pelvis (50%): normal female type.The shape of the female bony pelvis can be described using the following terms 3: oval or triangular obturator foramen in females.sacrum more triangular and shorter in females.acetabulum faces more anteriorly in females.infrapubic angle is greater than 90° in females.Sex differencesĭifferences between the males and female bony pelvis arise as an adaptation of the female pelvis to childbearing 3: The hip bones incorporate the acetabulum, which articulates with the proximal femur at the hip joint. The two hip bones are joined anteriorly at the pubic symphysis and posteriorly to the sacrum at the sacroiliac joint. Until puberty, each hip bone consists of three separate bones yet to be fused: ilium, ischium and pubis connected by the triradiate cartilage. Its primary function is the transmission of forces from the axial skeleton to the lower limbs as well as supporting the pelvic viscera. The bony pelvis is formed by the sacrum and coccyx and a pair of hip bones ('ossa coxae'), which are part of the appendicular skeleton.
