22
Q

How accurate is the gest sac diameter in predicting gestational age

A

+/- 2-3 weeks

23
Q

How accurate is CRL in predicting gestational age

A

+/- 3-5 days

24
Q

If the CRL is so much more accurate than the GSD in predicting gestational age, why do we need to measure the GSD after CRL is visible

A

correlate sac size to embryo size

25
Q

Cardiac activity should be seen when the CRL is greater than ___ in length

A

7mm

26
Q

Absence of an embryo by 7-8 weeks gestation is consistent with

A

anembryonic pregnancy

27
Q

If the CRL of the embryo is 15mm, what is the gestational age

A

7.5 weeks

28
Q

Why is the CRL no longer accurate after 12 weeks

A

extension and flexion of fetus

29
Q

Between 17 and 26 weeks gestation, what is the accuracy of BPD measurements

A

+/- 11 days

30
Q

In the late third trimester, what is the accuracy of BPD measurements

A

+/- 3 weeks

31
Q

Why does the accuracy of BPD decrease

A

variations in normal size for gest age

32
Q

Describe the landmarks and technique for measuring the BPD

A

outer to inner edge at transverse level of the mid brain (CSP, thalamus, falx)

33
Q

Describe the landmarks and technique for measuring the HC

A

measure margins of skull, same as BPD

34
Q

What is the cephalic index

A

BPD/OFD x 100

35
Q

What is the CI used to define

A

normal shape of fetal head

36
Q

If the CI is abnormal, should the BPD be included in calculations of gestational age

A

no

37
Q

What is the normal range for CI

A

75-85%

38
Q

Describe the landmarks and technique for measuring the AC

A

round trans image with stomach and umbilical portion of left portal vein midline to liver, outer margins of abdomen wall should be measured

39
Q

What factors can influence the size and shape of the AC

A

compression, fetal breathing, fetal crowding, oligohydramnios, liver affected by IUGR

40
Q

Describe the technique for measuring FL

A

measure blind end to blunt end, greater trochanter to external lateral chondile

41
Q

Is the FL about as accurate as the BPD in calculating gestational age

A

yes

42
Q

Why must the sonographer be especially careful about FL measurements when using a curvilinear probe

A

tends to shorten femur, bowing

43
Q

How can the distal formal and proximal tibial epiphyseal ossification centers be used to date a pregnancy

A

3.3-3.5 weeks

44
Q

When would the sonographer measure the humerus, tibia, radius, ulna, or fibula during a sonogram

A

when skeletal dysplasia, abnormal femur measurements and dwarfism are suspected

45
Q

Why would the use of multiple parameters diminish the accuracy of predicting gestational age when the fetus is not normal

A

congenital abnormalities of the fetus can alter measurements

46
Q

Describe the technique for performing the measurement of the binocular distance

A

lateral to lateral edge (outer to outer}

47
Q

Describe the technique for performing the measurement of the ocular distance

A

single orbit diameter

48
Q

Describe the technique for performing the measurement of the interocular

A

enter to enter

49
Q

The fetal cerebellum correlates with gestational age up to

A

28 weeks

50
Q

Why would the cerebellum not be used to predict gestational age in the presence of spinal or pleural tube defects

A

inaccurate due to shape

51
Q

______ describes a baby that is delivered before 38 menstrual weeks

A

pre term

52
Q

______ describes a baby that is delivered after 42 menstrual weeks

A

post term

53
Q

_____ describes a baby that is delivered between 38 and 42 menstrual weeks

A
