Evaluation of Normal Female Sudanese Gynecological Measurements Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI in Khartoum state

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Sudanese Female gynecological measurements by using sagittal T2, Magnetic Resonance Imaging 1.5T in Khartoum state and comparing the results with the Standard European Measurements the target populations of this study were 62 Sudanese female with ages group between (16-75 years old) during the period from Aug 2010 to Oct 2011 and the age group which have the large frequency was 37-47 years (significant age gropes) old 16 patients 25.8% all the patents are examined for MRI pelvis investigation. The variables under study were five variables, the Sudanese female pelvic measurement (uterine cervix caraniocaudal , uterus length , pelvic out let , pelvic cavity , true conjugate ) is 1.9cm , 7.8cm , 8.9cm , 12.3cm , 11.3cm respectively and the standard European female pelvic measurements was ( ≤2cm , 8cm , 9cm , ˃12cm , 11cm ) respectively . The comparing show there are completely agreement in two variables (uterine cervix cranio caudal and the pelvic cavity) but another variables that show little difference in values was (uterus length, true conjugate, pelvic outlet). The study prove they are correlation between the age and the studied variable either by increasing (pelvic out let, uterus length, pelvic cavity) and the variable that show decreasing with age increasing (uterine cervix cranio-caudal, true conjugate) there are different variables can't be measured in the sagittal T2 and they are vagina and ovaries .
