“…In the last 30 years, many methods have been developed to improve EFW accuracy, most based on formulae derived by regression analysis [3,16,22,23,25,27,33,35,36,38,41,44], or on physical models [2,14,17,29]. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and volumetric methods based on three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography were also recently proposed [11,20,40].…”
