REASON FOR EXAM: 

 Followup for fetal growth. 

 

INTERPRETATION: 

 Real-time exam demonstrates a single intrauterine fetus in cephalic presentation with a regular cardiac rate of 147 beats per minute documented. 

FETAL BIOMETRY:  

BPD = 8.3 cm = 33 weeks, 4 days,HC = 30.2 cm = 33 weeks, 4 days,AC = 27.9 cm = 32 weeks, 0 days,FL =  6.4 cm = 33 weeks, 1 day,The head to abdomen circumference ratio is normal at 1.08, and the femur length to abdomen circumference ratio is normal at 23.0%.  Estimated fetal weight is 2,001 grams.  

The amniotic fluid volume appears normal, and the calculated index is normal for the age at 13.7 cm.  

A detailed fetal anatomic exam was not performed at this setting, this being a limited exam for growth.  The placenta is posterofundal and grade 2.

 

IMPRESSION: 

 Single viable intrauterine pregnancy in cephalic presentation with a composite gestational age of 32 weeks, 5 days, plus or minus 17 days, giving and estimated date of confinement of 8/04/05.  There has been normal progression of fetal growth compared to the two prior exams of 2/11/05 and 4/04/05.  The examination of 4/04/05 questioned an echogenic focus within the left ventricle.  The current examination does not demonstrate any significant persistent echogenic focus involving the left ventricle.
