Guide to paediatric hip ultrasound
Welcome to our clinician guide designed to help diagnose and assess hip dysplasia using ultrasound imaging. Our goal is to support clinicians, radiographers and radiologists who perform and report on paediatric hip scans.
Hip ultrasound remains the most important tool in the detection and monitoring of hip dysplasia in infants. It is crucial to have high-quality scans and interpretations to guide care and treatment decisions, highlighting the importance of expertise in this field. Our guide aims to enhance ultrasound quality standards for optimal patient outcomes. It does not replace proper training, experience or accreditation. Instead, it seeks to enrich existing knowledge and expertise, and strengthen hip care and services in Victoria.
