Aim: To study the contribution of scanopelvimetry to the prognosis of childbirth in the radiology and medical imaging department of the Mother-Child University Hospital “Le Luxembourg” Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with prospective collection involving 30 patients, who had performed CT scan for a suspected pelvic anomaly in the radiology and medical imaging department of the Mother-Child University Hospital ''Le Luxembourg''.' between April 2021 and September 2022. The variables measured were sociodemographic data, the gynecological and obstetrical history of the pregnant woman, the reasons for requesting scanopelvimetry and the result of scanopelvimetry. Results: The prevalence of scanopelvimetry was 3.32% compared to all scans performed. The most represented age group was 21 to 30 years old (66.7%), second gestation was in the majority (46.7%), the majority of pregnant women did not have a living child (46.6 %), cesarean section was the most represented obstetric history (46.7%), clinical suspicion of a narrowed pelvis was the most represented clinical information with 33.4%, promonto-retropubic diameter (PRP ) measured at 11 mm was the most represented (46.7%), the median transverse diameter at 11 mm was the most represented (43.3%), the majority of pregnant women had a Magnin index between 21 and 22 cm (56.7%), cesarean section was the most represented method of delivery, i.e. 53.3% of cases. Conclusion: Le scanner hélicoïdal multi barrettes permet une nouvelle approche de la pelvimétrie répondant aux exigences des obstétriciens en privilégiant l’étude morphologique du bassin. La scanopelvimétrie permet au gynécologue obstétricien à partir des mensurations du bassin obstétrical d’évaluer le pronostic de l’accouchement, donc de planifier avec la patiente la voie d’accouchement.
