AB Prenatal  diagnosis  should  be  instituted  accurately  and  early  enough  to  achieve  an  excellent  level  of  care  of  the  obstetric  patient.  Ultrasonography,  with  its  increasingly  better  resolution  and  image  quality,  is  making  it  easier  for  health  care  providers  to  make  appropriate  management  decisions.  Assessing  whether  a  structure  is  normal  or  abnormal  may  not  always  be  feasible,  but  if  doubt  exists  regarding  its  normalcy,  it  must  be  carefully  and  diligently  pursued.  In  addition,  several  measurements,  such  as  the  biparietal  diameter  (BPD)  and  the  head  circumference  (HC),  can  be  used  to  determine  the  gestational  age  of  a  fetus,  especially  during  the  first  half  of  pregnancy.  Correct  estimation  of  gestational  age  is  of  paramount  importance  because  adequate  management  of  both  low-  and  high-risk  obstetric  populations  relies  heavily  on  knowing  the  precise  gestational  age.
