A new method of determining fetal weight in utero is presented. Because it is based on multiple ultrasound measurements which encompass population and individual variations in fetal anthropometry, the method should be applicable to fetuses drawn from different populations. The components of fetal weight are separated into two variables, brain weight and somatic weight, which are independently determined. Their sum provides good estimates of total fetal weight in normal cases as well as those with asymmetrical growth retardation (Sy = 83 gm). The method generates the data required for interpreting fetal weight estimates in terms of any alteration in the brain:somatic weight relationship. It, therefore, yields quantitative information on the severity of asymmetrical IUGR.
本文介绍了一种新的子宫内胎儿体重测定方法。由于该方法基于多次超声测量，涵盖了胎儿人体测量学中的群体和个体差异，因此应适用于来自不同群体的胎儿。胎儿体重的组成部分被分为两个变量，即脑重和躯体重量，并分别进行测定。在正常情况以及不对称性生长迟缓的情况下，它们的总和能很好地估算胎儿总体重（标准差Sy = 83克）。该方法生成的数据可用于根据脑重与躯体重量关系的任何变化来解释胎儿体重估计值。因此，它能提供关于不对称性宫内生长受限严重程度的定量信息。
