A M Vintzileos, and S Neckles, and W A Campbell, and J W Andreoli, and B M Kaplan, and D J Nochimson

The ultrasonically determined growth of the fetal liver during normal pregnancy is presented. The normal range of fetal liver sizes for each week of pregnancy from 20 weeks' gestation to term was determined. A linear relationship between fetal liver and abdominal circumference measurements also is described. Value and potential applications of this new fetal parameter are discussed.
