Why are you glad someone is still doing it? I haven't done an x-ray
pelvimetry since I left residency in 1979. Did it ever make any difference
then? I remember a few patients delivering on the way back from having
their x-ray. Most of the time it was simply a way of delaying the
inevitable C/S. Clinical pelvimetry is just as useful, always available.
If you are going to do an x-ray, a simple flat plate is the most useful,
simply looking for the position of the fetal head and legs. To quote
Williams: " the prognosis of successful vaginal delivery in any given
pregnancy cannot be established on the basis of x-ray pelvimetry alone,
because the pelvic capacity is but one of several factors that determine the
outcome."

I am so glad to see that someone's still doing XRay pelvimetry! Did a ton in
the early-mid 70's for breech deliveries. I don't believe that 1 xray
affects the fetus.
