Canine Pelvis
Canine extended-leg ventrodorsal pelvis from the CUVET teaching set. Symmetric femoral-head placement in acetabula — Norberg-angle baseline view. Right-side anatomy marker (R) visible.
DX · lateral
✓ CUVET
Canine Pelvis
Canine lateral pelvis / pelvic limb from the CUVET teaching set (study labeled 'Hip-joint'). Hip joint, femur, stifle, and proximal tibia are visible in one lateral projection — the first lateral pelvis in the atlas to pair with the VD pelvis views, and the first lateral look at the stifle. Anonymized via the CUVET 4-pass scrubber pipeline.
