Femur Length and Head Circumference Ratio in Bangladeshi Fetuses

Fetal biparietal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference and femur length. A comparison by race and sex.

Biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL) were compared by race and sex in 5,405 ultrasound examinations done on 2,831 women. Black fetuses had significantly longer FL than white fetuses; male fetuses had larger BPD, HC and AC than females. The differences in BPD, HC and AC correlated with the different birth weights observed between ...

Learning curve for lung area to head circumference ratio measurement in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

OBJECTIVE To assess the learning curve for the fetal lung area to head circumference ratio (LHR) calculation in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). METHODS Three trainees with the theoretical knowledge, but without prior experience in the LHR measurement, were selected. Each trainee and one experienced examiner measured the observed to expected (O/E)-LHR in the lung contralate...

Head circumference in Iranian infants

Introduction: Head circumference (HC) measurement is one of the important parameter for diagnosis of neurological, developmental disorders and dysmorphic syndromes. Recognition of different disorders requires an understanding of normal variation for HC size, in particular, in infancy period with most rapid growth of the brain. Because of international and interracial standard chart differences ...

Observed to expected lung area to head circumference ratio in the prediction of survival in fetuses with isolated diaphragmatic hernia.

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of antenatally determined observed to expected fetal lung area to head circumference ratio (LHR) in the prediction of postnatal survival in isolated, congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). METHODS Two groups of fetuses were examined. The first group included 650 normal fetuses at 12-32 weeks' gestation, and the data collected were used to establish a normal range...
