Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pelvimetry is a modern, objective diagnostic technique that is used to estimate the size of the pelvic cavity when deciding on a delivery method. At the same time, there are many discrepancies in both the technique of the procedure itself and the reference values of the pelvic dimensions determined in this study.
Objective: To present our MRI pelvimetry procedure and to compare the reference values with those given by other authors.
Materials and methods: This paper describes the indications, contraindications, and procedure of MRI pelvimetry, which has been regularly used at the Academician V.I. Kulakov National Medical Research Center of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Perinatology, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, since 1998.
Results: Over the past period, more than 2500 MRI pelvimetry studies have been conducted. The used reference values of the indicators were compared with the data obtained by other researchers.
Conclusion: The presented MRI pelvimetry procedure and the reference values of the indicators are comparable with the results obtained by other researchers and can be used in the radiology units as prescribed by an obstetrician/gynecologist. The use of this technique will promote a reduction in the frequency of labor complications and its further improvement based on the continuation of researches.
