Trimester analysis for detecting abnormalities in foetal growth based on femur length using LabVIEW
Foetal development characteristics are used to determine the effects of various maternal traits and identify people who are more likely to have adverse outcomes. Foetal development features were measured during each trimester of pregnancy and were impacted by several mothers' socio-demographic and lifestyle factors. Ultrasound measures of the foetus are crucial during pregnancy. The stability of foetal growth features can be assessed using tracking analyses throughout pregnancy. The length of the femur, the long bone in the thigh, is one of the markers used to monitor foetal growth and health. Previous research concentrated on birth outcomes compared to the foetal development, during pregnancy. In this work, the femur length is measured using LabVIEW. An ultrasound finding of short femur length may signal the need for additional testing to rule out illnesses. Femur length is one of the several factors for determining a baby's health.
