Diameter of the fetal pancreas and abdomen-to-pancreas-ratio: novel ultrasound parameters in fetal growth restriction
The diameter of the fetal pancreas, as measured in this study, is a valuable parameter for the detection of small for gestational age and growth-restricted fetuses. Further studies are needed to further validate our results and their implication for clinical decision-making.
