Scanning the journals

Dias T, Ladd S, Mahsud-Dornan S, Bhide A, Papageorghiou AT, Thilaganathan B. Systematic labeling of twin pregnancies on ultrasound. Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol 2011; 38: 130–33 Sometimes a paper comes along with the simple answer to a common question so that the reader has a “Why didn’t I think of that?” moment. This is one of those. We have all come across the potential errors in labeling twins in utero, during pregnancy. This is particularly important in growth discrepancies, aneuploidy diagnosis and making sure serial biometry scans are accurate and relate to the correct twin.
