X-Ray of S.I. Joint Modified Ferguson (M.F.) View Price in Bangladesh

What is X-Ray of S.I. Joint Modified Ferguson (M.F.) View?

An X-ray of the sacroiliac (S.I.) joint in the Modified Ferguson (M.F.) view is used to assess the sacroiliac joints and the pelvic ring, especially for conditions like sacroiliitis, fractures, or arthritis.

In this view, the patient is positioned with the pelvis tilted at a 25-30° angle, which helps provide a clearer image of the sacroiliac joints. This modified angle allows for better visualization of joint space and bone alignment, particularly in the presence of deformities or inflammatory conditions.

The Modified Ferguson view is useful for diagnosing abnormalities affecting the lower spine and pelvis. No special preparation is typically required for this X-ray.

What to expect & how to prepare

An X-ray takes a picture of bones or chest structures in a few seconds. A radiographer positions you, asks you to hold still and briefly hold your breath for chest views. Nothing is injected.

• Eat and drink normally: a plain X-ray needs no diet restriction before your appointment.
• Metal: remove jewellery, coins, belts and clothing with zips or hooks over the area, or change into a gown as advised.
• Positioning: you may be asked to stand, sit or lie in a specific position — for weight-bearing views you will stand on the affected limb.
• Bring earlier films: previous X-rays of the same area help with comparison.

A plain X-ray uses a small dose of ionising radiation. Tell the radiographer before the exposure if you are pregnant or think you might be.

Taken by a radiographer and reported by a radiologist; bring the doctor's advice that requested it.
