Abstract:
We describe a new technique of pelvimetry by computerized tomography (CT), using multislice-CT. This new technique can provide measurements of the classical diameters and is able to bring new informations on anatomical aspect of the bony pelvis, especially of the superior strait, with images easier to understand by obstetricians and midwives. It is a simple technique to perform, without increasing cost. No additional irradiation is needed, but this point has to be confirmed by multicenter evaluation.
