Ultrasound studies are the gold standard as a prenatal diagnostic tool and monitoring the growth of the fetus during gestation. The methods currently used to screen fetal growth are abdominal palpation, symphysis–fundal height (SFH) measurements, ultrasound scanning, and fetal biometry, and customized growth charts. But the challenge is to identify these high-risk pregnancies using the most effective screening methods.
These measurement tools, especially, an ultrasound scan may not reveal the true picture of fetal growth. Systematic evaluation and estimation of growth trajectories in twins require ultrasound measurements across gestation, performed in controlled clinical settings. During the fetal growth scan, various measurements such as Biparietal diameter (BPD), Head Circumference (HC), Abdominal Circumference (AC), Femur Length (FL) are taken to achieve an estimated fetal weight…
