Re: Fetal lung maturityFrom: Terry J. DuBose (duboseterryj@uams.edu)Thu May 8 08:23:55 2003
Dr. Fernando Salmon, In the earlier days of sonography, early '80's, there were some attempts to compare the echogenicity of lung and liver to evaluate lung maturity. However, it did not seem to work out for lung maturity evaluations. As to fetal intestine, I am only aware of comparing the echogenicity of bowel to bone. Increased bowel echogenicity, approximately equal to bone, has been correlated with some trisomies. However, it appears to only be valid at lower frequencies (2-3.5 MHz)... at higher frequencies the bowel often appears brighter. Hope this helps. Terry

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
