Dr. Elsir Ali Saeed Taha

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to estimate fetal weight antenatally at or near term by using ultrasound evaluation and measurement. The study was a descriptive study conducted on 232 pregnant women selected by simple random sampling who attended the Elribat national hospital and Khartoum diagnostic center in periods from January 2016-till January 2017. Ultrasound examination was performed and FL, BPD, AC and Fetal weight was estimated by using Hadlocks formula ultrasonogrphically. The mean value of calculated fetal weight was 1526.41007.7gm. Finally the correlation was done in order to predict models for estimation for future work.
