In order to evaluate the clinical utilization and efficacy of X-ray pelvimeter, a study of selective information from 292 cases, who had clinical and X-ray pelvimetry, among 7346 single term deliveries in the years 1975 and 1978 was undertaken in Yonsei University Medical Center. The results revealed that there were no significant statistical difference between X-ray and clinical pelvimetry groups in terms of the outcome of labor and in regard to determining the pelvic size (p > 0.05). Most X-ray examination which caused significant fetal exposure were pelvimetries.

This study was carried out to observe the differences of bony pelvis between male and female Korean native goat by the pelvimetry. The results represented that the middle transverse diameter(1:1.35), ventral transverse diameter(1:1.12), transverse diameter of pelvic outlet(1:1.22), right oblique diameter(1:1.09), the width between ruber ischii(1:1.15) and width of pubis(1:1.11) were shown significant differences(p<0.01) between male and female Korean native goat.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the change of morphologic pelvis according to age and gender. Pelvis AP(anterior-posterior) projection were taken from 382 individuals (men: 194, women: 188) at the age of twenty and older. We measured four values of pelvis using CR (computed radiological system) including maximum pelvic breadth (MPB), sacral breadth (SB), transverse diameter of pelvic inlet (TD), and distance between femoral heads (DFH). Average (t-test, ANOVA) and Pearson correlation were calculated for comparison. While there was no significant difference of gender in case of MPB, significant differences were observed in SB (men 97.76 mm, women 102.00 mm), TD (men 138.0 mm, women 149.79 mm), and DFH (men 141.94 mm, women 150.39 mm). The DFH values were negatively correlated with the age (men r=-0.280, women r=-0.207). The morphological changes of pelvis were measured high in the men of 50's and in the women of 60's and 70's. The SB, TD and DFH were greater in the women than in the man. As the ages get higher, the deviation of pelvis were gradually increased, which indicates that the morphological changes of pelvis with respect to the age reflects an aging process.
