title: [The role of routine ultrasonic screening in the antenatal diagnosis of fetal retardation].
abstract: The authors aim to evaluate the utility of ultrasound biometry in the diagnosis of IUGR. In a prospective study over 2.5 year period 142 pregnants at risk for IUGR were followed and their ultrasound results compared to those of 50 controls, investigated once after the 24 gestational week. The authors conclude that: BPD and FAC, evaluated only once, are unreliable in IUGR diagnosis; FAC is the most sensitive and specific index in onefold fetal biometry, particularly after the 34 gestational week; combing linear with non-linear parameters significantly increases.
