title: [The place of x-ray pelvimetry in obstetrical practice].
abstract: The frequency of roentgenological pelvimetry, its changes in accordance with obstetric management of labour and its place in the obstetric practice were studied at the Research institute of Obstetric and Gynecology for the period of 1979-1988. It was established that its mean frequency for the investigated period was 7.0%, but its highest frequency--11.1% during 1982. During the following years its frequency gradually diminished and it was stabilized within the ranges of 3.5 to 5.0% during the last three years. It is indicated that roentgenological pelvimetry should be made compulsory in women with secondary deformed pelvis and in women with fetal breech presentation, whose parturition should be managed per vias naturales. It is stressed that the roentgenological pelvimetry has its place in the obstetric practice and it is a valuable diagnostic method.
