Anti-FLEX: Flexed Levering of Gluteal Vessels

University of South Florida11 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the gluteal vasculature in the prone and jackknife positions.

This is a prospective collection of contrast-enhanced CT images of healthy female volunteers in prone and jackknife positions in order to determine if position impacts gluteal venous vasculature.
