53676-3
ClinicalFetal Scapula - right Maximum length US
Definition
Measurement of scapula length, designated as the longest distance between the acromion and the inferior angle was made as follows. Measured by identifying the fetal spine in a longitudinal plane. Transducer moved parallel to this plane and laterally and tilted, if necessary, until the acromion and inferior angle of the scapula canbe visualized; the distance between the acromion and the inferior angle are measured with hand-held calipers.
