Advances in ultrasonographic biometry and fetal Doppler technology enhance our ability to detect the presence of fetal growth retardation, expand our understanding of its pathophysiology, and improve the ability to predict certain outcome parameters. Further refinement of these methods will allow better definition of IUGR as well as a means to more accurately direct perinatal resources. As causes of fetal growth retardation become more precisely defined, improvements in outcome are likely for certain subsets of those populations.
