Transverse cerebellar diameter on cranial ultrasound scan in preterm neonates in an Australian population.
OBJECTIVE Fetal measurement of transverse cerebellar diameter (TCD) has been shown to correlate well with gestational age (GA), even in the presence of growth retardation. The aim of this study was to define the normal range of TCD in preterm neonates in an Australian population between 23 and 32 weeks GA. METHODOLOGY Infants admitted to the Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne, having routine c...

متن کاملUltrasound Measurement of Kidney Dimensions in Premature Neonates
Background Ultrasonography is a non-invasive and accurate diagnostic method to evaluate urinary system and its anomalies in the neonates. Kidney sonographic measurement can be used as an alternative method to estimate gestational age. The aim of this study was to measure kidney size in preterm neonates and to provide a guide reference for gestational age. <...
