MR Imaging Pelvimetry: A Useful Adjunct in the Treatment of Women at Risk for Dystocia?

Abstract

To achieve increased reliability of MR imaging pelvimetry in the diagnosis and treatment of dystocia and in predicting labor outcome, new methods assessing fetal-pelvic compatibility, including measurements of the pelvic outlet and the shape and configuration of the pelvis, need to be established and prospectively tested before firm recommendations for clinical use can be made.
