Abstract
For each dimension, models based on EGA provided the best fit for determining normal measurements of fetal cardiac structures. Nevertheless, other biometric parameters, including femur length, biparietal diameter, and estimated fetal weight provided results that were nearly as good. Comprehensive Z-score results are available on the basis of highly predictive models derived from gestational age or other biometrics as preferable for clinical reasons. These results supplant current equations and will provide a foundation for future multicenter collaborations.
