Impact of a new image enhancement technology on the biometric measurements in pregnancy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the impact of a new image enhancement technique on biparietal diameter (BPD), head and abdominal circumference (HC and AC), and femur length (FL) measurements as well as the estimated fetal weight (EFW).

Methods

In this retrospective study, the second and third trimester biometry (BPD, HC, AC, and FL) images that were taken with two GE Voluson E22 ultrasound machines between May and July 2025 were collected. Each measurement was retrospectively obtained using the following settings in sequence: the radiant mode turned off and with the radiant mode turned on minimum, medium, and maximum levels. The measurements were made using automated caliper placement technology. The EFW was calculated using the Hadlock formula. Only the cases where each of the measure
