Real-time ultrasonic evaluation of the baboon pregnancy: biometric measurements.
Ultrasonic and direct biometric measurements of nine fetal baboons were made during 23 evaluations. Both the femur length and the biparietal diameter were correlated to gestational age. These initial results have facilitated intrauterine surgery. The data presented will help in determining adequate fetal growth and in dating the baboon pregnancy.
