title: [Ultrafast pelvimetry using Snapshot-FLASH-MRT--a comparison with the Spinecho and FLASH techniques].
abstract: Pelvimetry by means of snapshot-FLASH-MRI was carried out during the last trimester in 20 pregnant women. In 10 cases the results were compared with conventional spin-echo and FLASH-MRI. Snapshot-FLASH-MRI resulted in identical measurements but in addition provided images free from motion artifacts with good contrast of bone and soft tissue structures. The reduction in acquisition time resulted in pelvimetry in a few seconds. The total examination time and comfort for the patient were thereby improved.
