Abstract In an effort to evaluate the efficacy of measuring abdominal circumference with real‐time ultrasound, 53 patients were scanned with both contact scanning and linear array real time. Image measurements were made blindly from both types of equipment. Abdominal circumference measurements with real time compared favorably with those obtained from contact images (r = +0.984).
