5D LB Ultrasound in Determination of Fetal Weight in Normal Pregnancy : A Pilot Study

August 4, 2017 updated by: dr mohamed laban, Ain Shams University

Accuracy of Five Dimensional Ultrasound Long Bones Fetal Biometry (5DUS LB ) for Prediction of Fetal Weight Compared to Two Dimensional Ultrasound: a Pilot Study

5D and 2D ultrasound will be done to normal pregnant women between 37 to 42 weeks gestation and fetal weight will be estimated using the hadlock formula using biometry measured by both ultrasounds. Accuracy of 5D ultrasound in determining fetal weight will be determined.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
normal pregnant women
Normal pregnant women between 37 and 42 weeks gestation.
2D and 5DUS LB will be done for term pregnant women and fetal weight will be estimated by the hadlock formula. Accuracy of estimated fetal weight by both techniques will be compared to actual birth weight.
