Obstetrics Obstetric measurements are used to estimate the GA and EDD, to calculate the growth indices, including the EFW. The growth estimation is determined by growth curve and fetal biophysical profile. Obstetric Exam Preparations Make the following preparations before measurement: 1.
The calculating methods are listed as follows: LMP: input the LMP, the system will calculate the GA and EDD. DOC: input the DOC, the system will calculate the GA and EDD. IVF: After you enter IVF, the system will calculate GA and EDD. PRV: input the date and GA of the last exam, the system will calculate a new GA and EDD.

CUA is calculated according to formulae based on some measurement items (the involved items are among biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdomen circumference (AC), and femur length (FL)). To calculate CUA, all the GA formulae of the parameters involved must be Hadlock, the unit of the parameters is cm, and unit of CUA is week.
The system does not calculate the OB growth percentile if: A FG table is not normal distributed. There is no upper/ lower deviation set in the FG table. The FG table has the upper/ lower deviation set, but certain clinical GA value has no upper/ lower deviation or the deviation value is not plus.
