This calculator is to be retired This page keeps the older Biometry 3.1 calculations available in a mobile-friendly layout while the newer Biometry 5 workflow is being restored and validated.

Fetal Biometry Calculator 3.1

Enter gestational age and the measured value. Then select the appropriate biometric, growth, or Doppler calculation.

Measured value should be entered as millimeters, grams, or ratio, depending on the selected calculation.

Threshold values and clinical flags
FindingClinical note
DVP < 2 cmOligohydramnios in singleton or twin pregnancy.
DVP ≥ 8 cmPolyhydramnios in singleton or twin pregnancy. Mild 8–11 cm, moderate 12–15 cm, severe ≥16 cm.
AFI ≥ 24 cmPolyhydramnios in singleton pregnancy. Mild 24.0–29.9 cm, moderate 30.0–34.9 cm, severe ≥35 cm.
MCA PSV ≥ 1.5 MoMIncreased likelihood of fetal anemia.
CPR less than 1.08Increased risk for adverse perinatal outcome in a growth-restricted fetus; interpret with gestational age and local Doppler reference standards.
FL/AC ratio < 0.16Raises concern for lethality in suspected skeletal dysplasia.
Inferior facial angle less than 49°Increased likelihood of micrognathia.
Jaw index less than 23Supports diagnosis of fetal micrognathia.
Fetal HC ≥ 3 SD below meanConcern for fetal microcephaly.
Fetal HC ≥ 5 SD below meanPathologic microcephaly considered highly likely.
Lateral ventricle atrial diameter ≥ 10 mmVentriculomegaly: mild 10–12 mm, moderate 13–15 mm, severe >15 mm.
