Magnetic-resonance pelvimetry in breech presentation

Quelle place pour la radiopelvimétrie au XXIe siècle?

“…Plus récemment encore, le dévelop-pement de l'IRM, permettant l'évaluation du bassin osseux sans radiations ionisantes, a relancé l'intérêt de cette exploration [9][10][11].…”

Various randomized designs can be used to evaluate medical tests

“…2), one can imagine that knowledge of the type of test may influence subsequent management decisions of a physician, despite a prespecified link between test results and treatment. For example, an obstetrician may be reassured more with the results of a magnetic-resonance pelvimetry in breech presentation at term compared with manual pelvimetry, which could influence subsequent decisions, such as to perform an emergency caesarean section [21]. One could choose a design that bases randomization on test results, to overcome this problem.…”
