MRI offers nonionizing fetal shoulder assessment during MR pelvimetry; leaves open prospective validation for shoulder dystocia risk prediction.
Does MRI accurately predict fetal shoulder width compared to postnatal caliper measurements in patients referred for MR pelvimetry?
MRI is a feasible, nonionizing technique that accurately predicts fetal shoulder width, showing potential for evaluating shoulder dystocia risk.
