It is important to recognize the growing concern as to the possible sigrificance of general body irradiation of the fetus in the course of pelvimetry. To reduce tais appreciably there are only two really satisfactory alternatives, either to eliminate the procedure entirely or to refine the technic so that the fetus obtains only a fraction of the exposure incident to the more conventional method of pelvimetry. This latter object was achieved to a highly satisfactory degree by precision coring, precision centering, masking the area where the fetal head lies, and protecting the remainder of the fetus by a leaded apron placed over the maternal ahdomen.
