E: Lower conjugate defined as distance from lower inner symphysis pubis to sacrococcygeal junction.

F: Bony femoral width defined as bony width of the pelvis at the mid-femoral head level.

G: Interspinous distance defined as distance between the tips of the ischial spines.

H: Width of prostate at the same level as soft tissue width.
