Abstract:

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is the main cause of death and frailty of modern perinatal infants. It not only affects the development of the fetus in the mother′s body, but also directly affects the prognosis of the fetus without timely intervention. The advantages of simplicity, safety, and non-radiation promote the application of ultrasound to the detection of fetuses during pregnancy. With the development of ultrasound technology, the development of the fetus can be evaluated in many aspects from structure to function. This article reviews the progress of ultrasound diagnosis of FGR from the aspects of measuring fetal diameter, hemodynamic parameters, placental volume, thymus volume, cerebellar transverse diameter, brain-placental ratio and adrenal volume under ultrasound, and provides a reliable basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
