N2 - The ultrasonic abdominal circumference (AC) measurement is one of the essential parameters used for assessment of fetal status. Whereas the AC was traditionally derived by static equipment, dynamic scanners are presently used for that purpose. In this study, the AC values obtained by two gray-scale ultrasonic imaging modalities (static and dynamic) were compared; the differences between the mean AC measurements were not statistically significant. Additionally, when the outline of the AC in a fetus near term was larger than the sonic field displayed by dynamic equipment, the partially incomplete boundary could be "filled in" without affecting the accuracy of the result.
