Fetal head station: myth of ACOG classification

Computed tomography and ultrasound to determine fetal head station.

ACOG Practice bulletin no. 134: fetal growth restriction.

Fetal growth restriction, also known as intrauterine growth restriction, is a common complication of pregnancy that has been associated with a variety of adverse perinatal outcomes. There is a lack of consensus regarding terminology, etiology, and diagnostic criteria for fetal growth restriction, with uncertainty surrounding the optimal management and timing of delivery for the growth-restricte...

Importance and ways of fetal station measurement: designing and creating fetal station cymbal

Birth includes the period with strong uterine contractions. Accurate diagnosis of fetal station at delivery urinary tract is important for select a delivery method that result in providing health of mother and baby. The present study aims to investigate the methods for determining the fetal station during normal delivery and mistakes of determining fetal head station can result in labor disturb...

Automatic Evaluation of Progression Angle and Fetal Head Station through Intrapartum Echographic Monitoring

Labor progression is routinely assessed through transvaginal digital inspections, meaning that the clinical decisions taken during the most delicate phase of pregnancy are subjective and scarcely supported by technological devices. In response to such inadequacies, we combined intrapartum echographic acquisitions with advanced tracking algorithms in a new method for noninvasive, quantitative, a...

Three-Dimensional Fetal Head

TERRY J. DUBOSE, MS, RDMS, The fetal head is three dimensional (3D). As 3D sonography becomes a clinical reality, there is a need to describe standard biometric parameters by which the head shape, proportions, and volumes may be measured and analyzed. This particular study presents measurements and methods that are applicable to newer 3D imaging systems. These measurements will provide consiste...
