Radiologic examination, hip, unilateral, with pelvis when performed; 2-3 views

AI EXPLANATION: A hip X-ray is an outpatient diagnostic imaging test that produces detailed pictures of one hip and surrounding pelvic bone using low levels of radiation. During the examination, a radiologic technologist positions the leg and pelvis to take two or three distinct views from different angles. These images help healthcare providers examine the alignment, integrity, and joint spacing of the hip bones to identify fractures, arthritis, or other joint conditions.
