What is the most common fetal ratio parameter?

Select the most common fetal ratio parameter.

• Head circumference/abdominal circumference ratio (HC/AC)
• Abdomen circumference/femur length (AC/FL)
• Biparietal diameter/abdominal circumference (BPD/AC)
• Humerus length/biparietal diameter (HL/PBD)

What is normal AC at 20weeks?

Femur Length

What is the normal BPD at 17 weeks?

How do you read fetal biometry?

HC (head circumference), the length going around your baby’s head. CRL (crown-rump length), the length from the top of the head to your baby’s bottom, measurement taken in the first trimester. AC (abdominal circumference), the length going around your baby’s belly.

What is normal HC AC ratio?

Between 20 and 36 weeks of gestation, the HC/AC ratio normally drops almost linearly from 1.2 to 1.0. The ratio is normal in the fetus with symmetric growth restriction and elevated in the infant with asymmetric growth restriction. Another important use of ultrasound is estimating the amount of amniotic fluid.

What is normal FL in pregnancy?

Femur length (FL) Measures the longest bone in the body and reflects the longitudinal growth of the fetus. Its usefulness is similar to the BPD. It increases from about 1.5 cm at 14 weeks to about 7.8 cm at term.

What is fetal biometry measurements?

The fetal biometric parameters measured most commonly are biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur diaphysis length (FL). These biometric measurements can be used to estimate fetal weight (EFW) using various different formulae1.

What is AC in fetal biometry?

Abdominal circumference (AC) is one of the basic biometric parameters used to assess fetal size. AC together with biparietal diameter, head circumference, and femur length are computed to produce an estimate of fetal weight.
