SIEMENS Healthineers Job Aid | ACUSON Juniper Pediatric Hip | 2.0 SW Release Effective Date: 22 July 2022 | HOOD05162003284307 Pediatric Hip Definitions and Values The Graf method Well established ultrasound method for evaluating 2D measurements on infants aged less than six months and at an increased risk of developmen- tal hip dysplasia 1-4 Hip α Angle The intersection of the baseline placed parallel to the ilium, and the sec- ond line, positioned along the acetabular labrum creates the alpha or α angle. The resulting value reflects the depth of the bony acetabular roof. Hip α + β Workflow measuring the alpha followed by the beta angle. The alpha an- gle value reflects the depth of the bony acetabular roof. The angle formed by the baseline and the bony acetabulum (roof) is the beta angle or β an- gle. This helps determine femoral head coverage by the acetabulum. Hip β + α Workflow measuring the beta followed by the alpha angle. The β angle helps determine femoral head coverage by the acetabulum and the alpha angle reflects the depth of the bony acetabular roof. % Femoral Head Coverage The percentage of the femoral head which lies within the acetabulum. (%FHC) Femoral Head Coverage The percentage of femoral head to the posterior offset from the femoral (FHC) – Ratio neck axis. 90° or -90° Image Rotation Rotating the 2D ultrasound image allows for matching to the hanging pro- tocol for hip radiographs.
