OBSTETRIC ULTRASOUND 🫄

On a prenatal (obstetric) ultrasound, FL and AC are two key biometric parameters used to assess fetal growth and estimate gestational age.

---

🦴 FL – Femur Length

Definition: Measurement of the length of the fetal femur (thigh bone).

Purpose:

Estimates fetal age and growth.

Helps assess skeletal development.

Abnormally short FL may suggest growth restriction or skeletal dysplasia.

Measurement Technique:

Taken from one end of the femoral shaft to the other (excluding the femoral head and distal epiphysis).

Normal Appearance:

A bright (echogenic) linear structure, usually measured in the longitudinal plane.

Correlation:

FL correlates well with gestational age after 14 weeks.

---

⚪ AC – Abdominal Circumference

Definition: Measurement around the outer perimeter of the fetal abdomen.

Purpose:

One of the most important parameters for assessing fetal weight and growth pattern.

Sensitive indicator of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or macrosomia.

Measurement Technique:

Taken on a transverse section of the fetal abdomen at the level of:

Stomach bubble

Portal sinus of the umbilical vein

The spine should appear as a short segment, and ribs should form a symmetric circle.

Used for:

Estimated Fetal Weight (EFW)

Growth percentile calculations (with BPD, HC, FL)

---

📏 Typical Use in Combination

Parameter Meaning Helps Estimate

BPD Biparietal Diameter Head size
HC Head Circumference Brain growth
AC Abdominal Circumference Body and liver growth
FL Femur Length Skeletal growth

Together, these are used to calculate:

Gestational age

Estimated fetal weight (EFW)

Growth trends over time

LINAC (Linear Accelerator) is a machine used in External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) to treat cancer.
It generates high-energy X-rays or electrons that can destroy cancer cells while sparing nearby healthy tissues.

🌱Ultrasound Findings:-

A well-defined, thin-walled cystic lesion measuring approximately 68 × 52 mm is seen involving hepatic segments IVa to VIII. The lesion contains a smaller internal cyst measuring 32 × 27 mm, giving a characteristic “mother and daughter cyst” appearance. The internal contents show clear fluid with thin septations and no evidence of internal vascularity on color Doppler evaluation. No calcification or solid component is identified. The remaining hepatic parenchyma appears normal in echotexture.

🌱Impression:- Ultrasound features are suggestive of hepatic hydatid cyst involving segments IVa to VIII.
