title: Flexible software for the processing of obstetric ultrasound scan and related information.
abstract: Software has been developed whose main function is to relate obstetric ultrasound scan data to patient details at delivery. Up to four separate scan measurements can be recorded for each ultrasound investigation. Data on up to six such scanning sessions can be stored in a separate computer record for each patient. Up to four gestational tables can be configured by the user and stored on disc for each scan measurement. Flexible selection of computer records is possible on a broad range of criteria. Summary information such as Apgar score and birth weight distribution and the deviation from predicted delivery dates in half week intervals and also discrete days for each relevant set of maturity estimations can be generated. The software, written in Microsoft BASIC (GWBASIC and quickBASIC) can be run on a broad range of 16 bit microcomputers.
