Reliability of sonographic measurement of the fetal foot was tested. Nineteen fetuses of 16 to 40 weeks gestational age were scanned by two physicians in two different planes of measurements. Repeatability of two measurements of each fetus by the same observer and agreement between the two planes was analyzed using the appropriate statistical method. Good agreement in repeated measurements for and between the two planes was found.
