Chapter 5 Measurements and Calculations
FTA
This is automatically calculated using the following formula, provided there are measured APD and TAD
values.
ThC
This is automatically calculated using the following formula, provided there are measured APTD and TTD
values.
AFI (Amniotic Fluid Index)
Measure the amniotic uid index. Measurements are performed by dividing the pregnant woman’s
abdomen into four parts. The distance between the fetus and the farthest point of each area is measured.
To obtain a specic image from each quadrant plane, press the
Freeze
button to go to the diagnosis mode.
After obtaining the image, press the
Freeze
button again to return to the measurement mode.
Calculating Fetal Weight (EFW)
When measurements for the following items are complete, the system uses the results to calculate the
estimated fetal weight automatically. For an equation for calculating fetal weight, please refer to “Estimated
Fetal Weight Formula” in the Reference Manual Part 1.

Merz method in Europe, and the Shepard/ Hadlock methods on the American continent.
