Comparison of Pelvimetric Measurements Between MRI and Low-dose Stereoradiography (EOS® Imaging System)

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Breech Fetal Presentation
Registration Number
NCT04849975
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Grenoble
Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to compare pelvimetric measurements performed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and by the EOS imaging system.

Detailed Description

During pregnancy, after failure of External Manual Version (EMV) in case of breech fetal presentation, a radiological pelvimetry is performed to evaluate the measurements of the pelvis and decide on the appropriate mode of delivery.

Several imaging modalities are used, including pelvic computed tomography (CT),and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis.

CT scan has the disadvantage of maternal irradiation and MRI has the disadvantage of an inaccurate morphological analysis.The EOS® system is an imaging tool used in radiopediatric to allow precise morphological analysis of bone masses with minimal irradiation.

The quality of the morphological analysis and measurements provided by the EOS® imaging system is the reason for proposing this study comparing the pelvimetric measurements obtained by MRI and by the EOS® imaging system.
