The effect of maternal body mass index on fetal ultrasound image quality
- Abstract:
- More than 60% of women are overweight or obese in the United States, with obesity the most common clinical risk factor in obstetrical practice.1,2 Although increasing maternal body mass index (BMI) is thought to be associated with lower ultrasound image quality,2, 3, 4 no large-scale studies have quantified the effect in real-world settings. We investigated the effect of BMI on image quality of standard fetal views at the time of the routine midtrimester ultrasound.
