Prediction of birthweight by fetal ultrasound biometry
Abstract A total of 104 women with singleton pregnancies who were delivered between 37 and 42 weeks gestation had ultrasound scans during the fortnight before delivery. The biparietal diameter (BPD), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL) were measured in all cases.

Ultrasound evidence of early fetal growth restriction after maternal malaria infection. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Intermittent preventive treatment (IPT), the main strategy to prevent malaria and reduce anaemia and low birthweight, focuses on the second half of pregnancy. However, intrauterine growth restriction may occur earlier in pregnancy. The aim of

Fetal biometry: Relevance in obstetrical practice
Ultrasound imaging in obstetrics and gynecology dates back to 1958 when The Lancet published the first article about the use of ultrasonography for fetal and gynecological assessments. It is now almost inconceivable, 60 years later, to think of effective

Comparison of ultrasonic pachymetry, with a new optical biometry and tono-pachymetry
The aim of this study was to compare the measurements of central corneal thickness (CCT) using the CT-1P tonopachymetry and AL-Scan optical biometry with those obtained with ultrasound (US) pachymetry. In this prospective study, CCTs were measured in 100

Prevention and correction of residual refractive errors after cataract surgery
Cataract surgery today has become more of a refractive surgery with high patient expectations and demand for independence from glasses. With advances in biometry, precise intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation is the most important step in achieving ...
