    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Obstetrics
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Obstetric ultrasound analysis involves complex calculations.
    • Accurate gestational age and fetal weight estimation are crucial in prenatal care.
    • Existing methods for these calculations can be time-consuming or prone to error.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a pocket computer program designed for obstetric ultrasound calculations.
    • To evaluate the program's convenience, accuracy, and affordability.

    Main Methods:

    • A pocket computer program was developed and implemented at the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont.
    • The program performs calculations including: decimal weeks between dates, gestational age (from biparietal diameter, crown-rump length, femur length), total intrauterine volume, head-abdominal circumference ratios, projected gestational age, and estimated fetal weight.
    • Results can be printed for a permanent medical record.

    Main Results:

    • The program successfully performs a range of complicated obstetric ultrasound calculations.
    • It provides a convenient and accurate method for obstetric ultrasound analysis.
    • The use of the program is noted as affordable.

    Conclusions:

    • The pocket computer program offers a valuable tool for obstetric ultrasound analysis.
    • It enhances the efficiency and accuracy of prenatal assessments.
    • This technology presents a practical and cost-effective solution for healthcare providers.
