Dear pniknafs@hotmail.com, this forum is for medical professionals to discuss the use of sonography in women’s health (not public discourse, please go to Pregnancy & Birth, or Women's Health for public discussions), and as such it is common courtesy to identify ourselves professionally. Thanks.

As to you question: “Could you please write me Is that possible to measure female pelvis size appropriateness for delivery by ultrasound? how?” To my knowledge no one has defined a consistent way of measuring the pelvic outlet dimensions or pelvic size by sonography. This used to be a big deal with x-ray, but I don’t think many worry as much about the pelvic size as the fetal size now days.

Anyone else have a comment on this?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
