Abstract:Objectives: Current weight estimation models do not consider the contribution of fetal soft tissue to fetal weight. We have investigated new weight estimation models that use a combination of conventional biometry and soft tissue parameters. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 248 fetuses was performed using 3DUS to acquire standard biometry (BPD, AC, FDL), fractional arm volume (Avol), and fractional thigh volume (TVol) within 4 days of delivery. Multiple linear regression was used to develop a 'modified Hadl… Show more
