Examination of Pelvis Diameters and Pelvis Types On 3D Computed Tomography Images

Abstract

Objective: There are four main types of female pelvis: android, anthropoid, gynecoid, and platypelloid. The anatomical structure of certain pelvic types can make vaginal childbirth more difficult. Pelvic shape may also change slightly with age. Our study aimed to examine the distribution of pelvic types in women from two different age groups: young and old. Materials and methods: We analyzed 3D images of 100 women—50 women aged 18-25 and 50 women aged 60-70—created using the RadiAnt DICOM Viewer program. Pelvic diameters were measured, and pelvic types were classified. Results: Our analysis showed a clear predominance of platypelloid and gynecoid pelvic types compared to the anthropoid and android types. In the 18-25 age group, the gynecoid type was the most common, accounting for 48%, while the android type was the least common at just 2%. In the 60-70 age group, the platypelloid type was most prevalent, at 70%, while the anthropoid type was not observed (p < 0.005). Conclusion: The platypelloid type was the most common pelvic type in our study, followed by the gynecoid type. Notably, the gynecoid type was less common in women aged 60-70, suggesting that age may have a significant impact on changes in pelvic anatomy.
