| Popis: | The introduction of digital radiological facilities leads to the necessity of digital preoperative planning, which is an essential part of joint, replacement surgery. To avoid errors in the preparation and execution of hip surgery, reliable correction of the Magnification of the projected hip is a prerequisite. So far, no validated method exists to accomplish this. We-present validated geometrical models of the x-ray projection of spheres, relevant for the calibration procedure to correct for the radiographic magnification. With help of these models a new calibration protocol was developed. The validity and precision of this procedure was determined in clinical practice. Magnification factors could be predicted with a maximal margin of error, of 1.5%. The new calibration protocol is valid and reliable. The clinical tests revealed that correction of, magnification has a 95% margin of error of -3% to +3%. Future research might clarify if a strict calibration protocol, as presented in this. study, results in more accurate preoperative planning of hip joint replacements.
