Abstract: A method includes a obtaining an image of a center of a pelvis of a patient captured by an imaging device and analyzing the image of the pelvis center to determine whether or not the pelvis center is aligned with the imaging device using a computing device. When the pelvis center is not aligned with the imaging device, the method includes determining one or more alignment instructions for aligning the pelvis center with the imaging device by the computing device and transmitting the analyzed image of the pelvis center and the one or more pelvis alignment instructions to a user device in communication with the computing device. The user device executes a graphical user interface for displaying the analyzed image and one or more pelvis alignment instructions.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a baseboard, a grid, a first marker, and a second marker. The grid has a plurality of cells integrally formed with the baseboard. The first marker is integrally formed with the baseboard and intersects the grid at a first angle with respect to a reference line. The second marker is integrally formed with the baseboard and intersects the grid at a second angle with respect to the reference line. The first angle and the second angle are vertically opposite. The grid, the first marker, and the second marker are made of materials having luminescence characteristics that are different than an x-ray characteristic of a material of the baseboard.
