E W Fletcher

    Lancet (London, England)
    |March 18, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Fetal radiography use is low, with less than 10% of fetuses imaged. Increased availability of ultrasound technology could further decrease fetal radiograph utilization.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Obstetrics
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Fetal radiography is a diagnostic tool used in maternity care.
    • The utilization of fetal radiography varies across healthcare settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the utilization rate of fetal radiography in a teaching maternity hospital.
    • To identify factors influencing the use of fetal radiography.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective survey of fetal radiographs was conducted over a one-year period.
    • Data on the number of fetuses radiographed were collected.

    Main Results:

    • Less than 10% of fetuses were radiographed during the study year.
    • The study identified a low rate of fetal radiography utilization.

    Conclusions:

    • Fetal radiography use is limited in this teaching maternity hospital.
    • Wider availability of ultrasound may lead to reduced reliance on fetal radiography.
