This study aimed to estimate the accuracy and reliability of pelvimetry measures obtained when radiologists manually label anatomical landmarks on three-dimensional (3D) pelvic models. A second objective was to design an automatic labeling method. (2) Methods: Three operators segmented 10 computed tomography scans each. Three radiologists then labeled 12 anatomical landmarks on the pelvic models, which allowed for the calculation of 15 pelvimetry measures. Additionally, an automatic labeling method was developed based on a reference pelvic model, including reference anatomical landmarks, matching the individual pelvic models. (3) Results: Heterogeneity among landmarks in radiologists\u2019 labeling accuracy was observed, with some landmarks being rarely mislabeled by more than 4 mm and others being frequently mislabeled by 10 mm or more. The propagation to the pelvimetry measures was limited; only one out of the 15 measures reported a median error above 5 mm or 5\u00b0, and all measures showed moderate to excellent inter-radiologist reliability. The automatic method outperformed manual labeling. (4) Conclusions: This study confirmed the suitability of pelvimetry measures based on manual labeling of 3D pelvic models. Automatic labeling offers promising perspectives to decrease the demand on radiologists, standardize the labeling, and describe the pelvic cavity in more detail.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13030689","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,25]],"date-time":"2024-01-25T06:54:12Z","timestamp":1706165652000},"page":"689","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Accuracy and Reliability of Pelvimetry Measures Obtained by Manual or Automatic Labeling of Three-Dimensional Pelvic Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Johann","family":"H\u00eaches","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Swiss BioMotion Lab, Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL), CH-1011 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandra","family":"Marcadent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Signal Processing Laboratory 5, \u00c9cole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne (EPFL), CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Fernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Women-Mother-Child Department, Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL), CH-1011 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Adjahou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Women-Mother-Child Department, Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL), CH-1011 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Yves","family":"Meuwly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL), CH-1011 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Philippe","family":"Thiran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Signal Processing Laboratory 5, \u00c9cole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne (EPFL), CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Radiology, Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL), CH-1011 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Desseauve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Women-Mother-Child Department, Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL), CH-1011 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julien","family":"Favre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swiss BioMotion Lab, Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL), CH-1011 Lausanne, Switzerland"},{"name":"The Sense Innovation and Research Center, CH-1007 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"387","DOI":"10.1097\/OGX.0b013e3181ecdf0c","article-title":"Assessing cephalopelvic disproportion: Back to the basics","volume":"65","author":"Maharaj","year":"2010","journal-title":"Obstet.
