Evaluation of fetal weight with respect to placental thickness and gestational age using ultrasonography.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
The placental thickness can be a useful sonographic parameter. It tends to gradually increase with gestational age in a linear fashion (~ 1 mm per week) and therefore the thickness in mm can approximate the gestational age (in weeks). Placental thickness appears to be a promising parameter for estimation of gestational age of the fetus as was also shown in animal studies.There was a strong positive correlation between placental thickness and gestational age. The measurement of the placental thickness is an important parameter for estimation of fetal age along with other parameters especially in the late mid trimester and early third trimester, where the exact duration of pregnancy is not known and other sonographic parameters also become less reliable .
