[Ultrasonographic examinations of the true conjugate (author's transl)]. 1979

K H Schlensker

The sonographic examination of the true conjugate is described. The results are compared with intraoperative and radiologic measurements. There is a good correlation between these data. In a number of 39 cases the true conjugate was 12.1 cm (MV) intraoperatively and 11.9 cm (MV) echographically. With ultrasonographic measurements during the last month of 776 pregnancies a mean value of 12.0 (+/- 0.8 cm SD) was found. Based on these results one may conclude, that in correlation to the acceleration of the human body growth there is in this material also an increase of the true conjugate, which usually is quoted in the literature to be 11 cm.

D001846	Bone Development	The growth and development of bones from fetus to adult. It includes two principal mechanisms of bone growth: growth in length of long bones at the epiphyseal cartilages and growth in thickness by depositing new bone (OSTEOGENESIS) with the actions of OSTEOBLASTS and OSTEOCLASTS.

D014463	Ultrasonography	The visualization of deep structures of the body by recording the reflections or echoes of ultrasonic pulses directed into the tissues. Use of ultrasound for imaging or diagnostic purposes employs frequencies ranging from 1.6 to 10 megahertz.
