APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Platypelloid. The platypelloid pelvis is also called a flat pelvis. This is the least common type. It’s wide but shallow, and it resembles an egg or oval lying on its side.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gynaecoid (Greek: gyne + eidos = ‘woman type’) form is the type allocated to the ‘normal’ female form and has a round or slightly transversally oval shaped pelvic brim. It has a wide sub-pubic arch and the sacrum is inclined posteriorly.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anthropoid: The pelvis is more oval-shaped and narrower than other pelvic shapes. People with anthropoid pelvises may have longer buttocks muscles than those with gynecoid pelvises. Gynecoid: The pelvis is wide and round. This is one of the typical pelvis shapes for people AFAB.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anthropoid pelvises are oval-shaped-they’re oval at the inlet and roomy front to back. Then, there’s the heart-shaped or android pelvis (yep-just like the phone). About 25 percent of women have this type. Lastly, just 5 percent of women have a platypelloid pelvis, which is oval and has a wide pubic arch.

Detailed explanation-5: -Female pelves are larger and wider than male pelves and have a rounder pelvic inlet. Male iliac crests are higher than females, causing their false pelves to look taller and narrower. The male sacrum is longer, narrower, straighter, and has a pronounced sacral promontory relative to the female sacrum.
