Use of a pocket personal computer in obstetric ultrasound.
Obstetric ultrasound is of increasing importance in obstetric practice. The conventional ultrasound prediction of fetal weight and gestational age using various fetal parameters, like biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference, femur length etc have to rely on various different charts or tables, which are both laborious and time consuming. Three programmes in Basic language using a pocket personal computer have been developed and their application is presented in this paper.
