Obitain biparietal diameter of the fetal head at the transverse level of the midbrain: falx, cavum septi pellucidi, and thalamic nuclei
Make sure the head is symmetric and oval
Measure from outer to inner margins of the skull

The fetal abdomen circumference(AC) is the most widely measured
Measuring the Abdominal Circumference(AC)Measuring the Abdominal Circumference(AC)The AC should be taken from a round transverse image with the umbilical portion of the left portal vein midline within the liver
The outer margin of the abdominal wall should be measured

The femur is the most widely measured long bone (FL femur length )Femur measurementFemur measurementHyperechonic linear structure represents the ossified portion of the femoual diaphysis and corresponds to femoral length measurement from the greater trochanter to the femoral condyles
The mormal femur has a straight laeral border and a curved medial border
Femur length may be used with the same accuracy as BPD to predict gestational age

The thickness of the placenta varies with gestational age,with a minimum diameter of 15 mm in fetuses greater than 23 weeks. The size of the placenta rarely exceeds 50 mm in the normal fetus.
