- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the reproducibility of fractional limb volume measurements during the second and third trimester of pregnancy. It says that fractional limb volume measurement is a soft tissue parameter that has been used for the evaluation of the nutritional status of fetuses. The study suggests that fractional limb volume assessment is likely to improve the monitoring of malnourished fetuses because soft tissue parameters can be attained easily.
