Medial bi-ischiatic line
Medial bi-ischiatic line
- Acronym: MBID
Definition
The medial bi-ischiatic line is a pelvic landmark used to assess the anatomy of the pelvic area, particularly in the context of obstructive dystocia and constipation. It is determined from a ventrodorsal radiograph or multiplanar reconstructed CT images of the pelvis.
The medial bi-ischiatic line has been used to ensure that a horizontal line was found when measuring the transverse diameter.
The medial bi-ischiatic line is the line between the caudomedial angles of the ischiatic tables.
