Measurements
a. The Gestational Age is automatically calculated and displayed
next to the OB measurement you selected. The average of the
results is the AUA.
b. For Tokyo U., APTD and TTD are used only to calculate EFW. No
age or growth tables are associated with these
measurements.
c. The Estimated Fetal Weight calculation uses an equation that
consists of one or more fetal biometry measurements. The
author for the OB tables, which you choose on a system setup
page, determines the measurements you must perform to
obtain an EFW calculation. (See “OB Calculations setup” on
page 20.)
Individual selections for Hadlocks EFW equations 1, 2, and 3
are not determined by the user. The selected equation is
determined by the measurements that have been saved to
the patient report with priority given to the order listed
above.
d. The Growth Analysis tables are used by the Report Graphs
feature. Three growth curves are drawn using the table data
for the selected growth parameter and published author.
Growth tables are only available with a user-entered LMP or
Estab. DD.
