Fetal ultrasound: measurement of biparietal diameter (BPD) or cephalometry is the most common ultrasound method for gestational dating. Its accuracy in diagnosing IUGR varies from 43%-100%. Inaccuracy of cephalometry results from inaccuracies in gestational dates, distortion of measurement in dolichocephaly and head-sparing in asymmetric IUGR.
