Abstract : The assessment of anterior pelvic tilt (APT) is crucial in diagnosing and treating various musculoskeletal disorders. This paper evaluates the sensitivity of measuring APT using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray techniques. By comparing the two modalities, we aim to determine the advantages and limitations of each in clinical practice. Our findings suggest that MRI offers greater sensitivity in measuring APT, providing valuable insights for clinicians in selecting the appropriate imaging modality.
