Late gestation MRI to assess maternal pelvimetry, fetal biometry and placental oxygenation: a retrospective pilot study
It is possible to perform maternal pelvimetry, fetal biometry and assess placental oxygenation from one late gestation MRI examination. The approach could be employed in a large, prospective study to ascertain whether we can predict the likelihood of assisted birth or caesarean section, with automation of image analysis to minimise inter-rater variability.
