Abstract
This review presents the basic principles underlying the quantitative assessment of normal fetal growth using ultrasound. Data on fetal growth derived from measurements of body, head, chest, and abdominal dimensions, are summarized, compared, and evaluated. Fetal volume and weight determination are also discussed. Most of the data evaluated were obtained in cross‐sectional studies, but we present the preliminary results of our longitudinal study of fetal growth for comparison.Keywords
