Considering the increasing development of three dimensional (3D) imaging, the 3D assessment of the acetabular coverage is to become the most interesting tool for the detection of acetabular pathologies. Biplanar X-rays based methods allow a 3D reconstruction of the hip with a reduced radiation dose. This study proposes a 3D assessment method of the acetabular coverage from biplanar X-rays or from an anteroposterior X-ray (conventional clinical imaging). An in vitro evaluation of the method was performed on six hip joints in comparison with computed tomography. The global coverage, the local coverage and the acetabular rim orientation were estimated in 3D. The mean global acetabular coverage was 40% with an estimated mean accuracy of 1.3% for the biplanar X-rays based method. This study evaluated a 3D assessment method of the acetabular coverage from biplanar X-rays or anteroposterior X-ray and open the way for clinical in vivo applications.
