Evaluation of Radiation Dose and Image Quality in the Transition from Conventional Pelvimetry to Low-Dose Helical CT Pelvimetry [PDF]
Purpose: The present study aimed to assess the radiation dose associated with low-dose (LD) CT pelvimetry compared with conventional radiography and to evaluate the adequacy of the resulting image quality.

Diagnostic Value of Clinical Pelvimetry and Sonopelvimetry in Determining Mode of Delivery in Nulliparous Women [PDF]
Background: Normal morphological features of the maternal pelvis are important prerequisites for vaginal delivery. Clinical pelvimetry and sonopelvimetry are inexpensive methods of assessing pelvic capacity.

Three-dimensional visualization of the total mesorectal excision plane for dissection in rectal cancer surgery and its ability to predict surgical difficulty [PDF]
Total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer is often technically challenging. We aimed to develop a method for three-dimensional (3D) visualization of the TME dissection plane and to evaluate its ability to predict surgical difficulty.

MRI-based pseudo-CT sequences as a radiation-free alternative to CT for obstetric pelvimetry: a proof-of-concept study [PDF]
Background Pelvimetry is essential in obstetrics for delivery planning. While computed tomography (CT) is the standard, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a radiation-free alternative with zero echo time (ZTE) and black bone (BB) sequences providing

Late gestation MRI to assess maternal pelvimetry, fetal biometry and placental oxygenation: a retrospective pilot study [PDF]
Background The role of MRI pelvimetry and fetal size estimation in predicting mode of birth and risk of operative birth have been studied. However, there are no complete MRI studies that assess the maternal pelvis, fetal dimensions, and the placenta in a
