    Area of Science:

    • Biometry
    • Fetal Development
    • Quantitative Analysis

    Background:

    • Accurate fetal growth assessment relies on appropriate measurement parameters and growth models.
    • Existing methods may be sensitive to variations in fetal shape.
    • Need for robust parameters for three-dimensional (3D) fetal biometry.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose two novel quantitative parameters for fetal growth: the head cube and abdominal cube.
    • To introduce a new growth curve model, P = c(t)k+s(t), for fetal development analysis.
    • To evaluate the properties and biological relevance of these new parameters and model.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of two new fetal measurement parameters: head cube and abdominal cube.
    • Formulation of a new growth curve model: P = c(t)k+s(t).
    • Calculation of parameters from profile diameter measurements, relating them to 3D metrics.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed head cube and abdominal cube parameters demonstrate relative insensitivity to shape changes.
    • These parameters are linked to 3D measurements despite being derived from 2D profile data.
    • The new growth curve model effectively describes diverse fetal growth patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel head cube and abdominal cube parameters offer a robust method for fetal growth quantification.
    • The proposed growth curve model provides flexibility and biological interpretability.
    • These advancements enhance the accuracy and understanding of fetal development trajectories.
