Ultrasound diagnosis of the small and large fetus
- Abstract:
- Antenatal imaging is crucial in the management of high-risk pregnancies. Accurate dating relies on acquisition of reliable and reproducible ultrasound images and measurements. Quality image acquisition is necessary for assessing fetal growth and performing Doppler measurements to help diagnose pregnancy complications, stratify risk, and guide management. Further research is needed to ascertain whether current methods for estimating fetal weight can be improved with 3-dimensional ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging; optimize dating with late initiation of prenatal care; minimize under-diagnosis of fetal growth restriction; and identify the best strategies to make ultrasound more available in low-income and middle-income countries.
