Summary

Fetal iliac angle and iliac length measurements are influenced by gestational age, axial level, and spine orientation. These factors are crucial for accurately assessing fetal development and potential conditions like Down syndrome.

Area of Science:

  • Fetal medicine
  • Medical imaging
  • Quantitative anatomy

Background:

  • Accurate fetal morphometry is essential for prenatal diagnosis.
  • Iliac angle and length are key skeletal measurements.
  • Understanding influencing factors improves diagnostic reliability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate iliac angle and iliac length in normal fetuses.
  • To identify factors influencing these fetal measurements.
  • To establish normative data for clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective evaluation of 356 fetuses using antenatal ultrasonography.
  • Measurement of iliac angle and length at superior and inferior axial levels.
  • Statistical analysis using mixed linear models to assess influencing factors.

Main Results:

  • Gestational age, axial level, and spine orientation significantly affected measurements.
  • Iliac angle decreased with gestational age and inferior axial level.
  • Iliac length increased with gestational age but decreased at the inferior axial level.

Conclusions:

  • Axial level, gestational age, and spine orientation impact iliac morphometrics.
  • These factors must be considered when using iliac measurements for Down syndrome screening.
  • Standardized measurement techniques are vital for accurate fetal assessment.
