![]() Multiple standard fetal biometric charts are available for prediction of Gestational Age (GA) from the given fetal parameters which include measurement of gestational sac, crown rump length (CRL), fetal biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), and femur length (FL). These standard charts are used by most of the USG machines to assign gestational age (GA), expected date of delivery (EDOD), estimated fetal birth weight (EFBW) and in diagnosing growth disturbances in the fetus.Īccurate knowledge of gestational age is the key to successful antepartum care and for successful planning of appropriate intervention or treatment. The sonographic measurements of the fetus are beneficial in providing information about fetal growth in comparison to set standards of fetal biometry as per the gestational age. Fetal growth is defined as the time-dependent changes in body dimensions of the fetus that occur during the pregnancy. ![]() ![]() This methodology is devoted to the measurement of the several parts of fetal anatomy and the growth of these fetal parts throughout pregnancy. Fetal biometry, with the help of USG provides the most reliable and important information about fetal growth and well-being. Tremendous progress in the application of ultrasonography (USG) as a diagnostic modality has revolutionized the management towards better care due to its non-invasive and non-ionizing nature besides the cost-effectiveness leading to its wider acceptability. ![]()
