These calibrated markings 38 can also be used to measure the adequacy of pelvic conjugate diameter during labor.
A standard method is called the parallelogram method, and is applicable to conjugate diameters as well as to the usual perpendicular axes.
The true conjugate diameter is the anterio-posterior diameter of the pelvic inlet, measured from the superior margin of the symphysis pubis to the sacrovertebral angle.
The pelvic outlet is characterized by the anteroposterior, anterior sagittal, bispinous, and posterior sagittal diameters; and the pelvic inlet by the diagonal conjugate, obstetric conjugate, and true conjugate diameters.
