[Pelvimetry (author's transl)]

Area of Science:

• Radiological imaging
• Obstetrics and Gynecology
• Medical physics

Background:

• Pelvimetry is crucial for assessing pelvic dimensions in obstetrics.
• Traditional pelvimetry techniques can involve significant radiation exposure.
• There is a need for accurate and low-dose imaging methods.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe a novel, simple, and precise pelvimetry technique.
• To detail a method that minimizes radiation dose to the patient.
• To present the results of this low-dose pelvimetry approach.

Main Methods:

• The technique incorporates the standard lateral radiographic view.
• Anteroposterior (AP) views utilize the Fernstroëm projection.
• The described method focuses on simplicity and precision in execution.

Main Results:

• The described pelvimetry technique is both simple and precise.
• This method delivers a significantly low dose of irradiation.
• The study details the practical application and outcomes of the technique.

Conclusions:

• The Fernstroëm projection offers an effective alternative for AP pelvimetry.
• This low-dose irradiation technique enhances patient safety in pelvimetry.
• The described method provides a valuable tool for obstetric assessment.
