In this lecture, Dr. Tellhelm emphasizes the importance of precise radiographic positioning and image quality for the accurate assessment of hip dysplasia (HD) and elbow dysplasia (ED) in dogs. He explains how critical symmetry and correct positioning are when interpreting radiographs and uses examples to demonstrate how faulty positioning can misrepresent the condition of the joints. Key criteria such as the position of the femoral head in relation to the acetabular rim and the Norberg angle play a central role in classifying joints as either normal or dysplastic. Additionally, the legal responsibility for correct image evaluation is stressed, as poor-quality images can lead to misdiagnoses, which in turn can influence breeding decisions. 

Another focus of the lecture is the need for consistent and comparable evaluations across different regions and countries, as well as the challenges posed by varying international standards and techniques. The speaker also addresses the global implications of inconsistent HD and ED evaluations and explains the importance of accurate data for genetic research and the health of the breed. The lecture concludes by discussing the global aspect of dysplasia assessment and its significance for scientific research and breeding standards. 

The lecture is primarily aimed at veterinarians, officials, and breeders from associations involved in the diagnosis or management of hip and elbow dysplasia in dogs and is particularly relevant for those who wish to ensure high standards in diagnostic imaging and breeding practices.

Dr. med.vet. Bernd Tellhelm (Germany)

Dr. Bernd Tellhelm is a renowned specialist in veterinary radiology. He served for many years as an Academic Senior Councilor (retired) at the Justus Liebig University Giessen. Dr. Tellhelm is a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging (ECVDI) and is considered an expert in diagnostic imaging, particularly in the area of skeletal diseases such as hip and elbow dysplasia. 

His career has been shaped by a deep focus on the diagnosis and treatment of dysplasia, especially through his role as chairman of the Society for Radiological Diagnosis of Genetically Influenced Skeletal Diseases in Small Animals (GRSK). He is also the co-editor of the well-known veterinary reference book *Radiographic Examination in Veterinary Practice*. 

Internationally, Dr. Tellhelm is highly regarded, as evidenced by his long tenure as president of the International Veterinary Radiology Association. Furthermore, he is a leading member of the International Elbow Working Group, where he significantly contributes to the research and advancement of elbow disease diagnostics. 

Through his work and publications, Dr. Tellhelm remains a prominent authority in the field of veterinary radiology, particularly in the examination and treatment of genetically influenced skeletal diseases in dogs.
