You stated that the two machines are using the "same hadlock measurement", but you are not getting the same result. Is that correct. By "same hadlock measurement" do you mean the outer abdominal circumference, femur length, BPD, & head circumference? Hadlock published several fetal weight estimates... are you sure the algorithms use the same Hadlock formula? You will need to look at the users manual for each machine to determine which Hadlock publication and which forumula is used.

This is an interesting problem of sonography because there have been so many formulas published for the various parameters.

Please let us know what you find. Thanks, 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.
