Abstract

The purpose of the study was to create a fetal biometry standard from data on ultrasound-dated in Korean people. A total of 142 singleton gestations with ultrasonographic fetal biometry from 14 to 38 weeks made up the study population. BPD, HC, AC and FL were measured every second weeks. To assess sonographic accuracy, we measured wooden sticks in 0°, 10° and 70° in artificial box. BPD, HC, AC and FL were measured. Mean values of each percentiles (5, 25, 50, 75, 95) are displayed. The resulting values were plotted graphically. Inter-degree differences were not significant and 0.2 ± 0.1, 0.3 ± 0.2, 0.2 ± 0.1, respectively (0° VS 10°, 0° VS 70° and 10° VS 70°) We validated the accuracy and reliability of sonographic measurements according to fetal positions.
