Abstract
It is important to understand the uncertainty in fetal measurements when using them in the management of pregnancy. The aim of this essay is to provide background on errors and uncertainty, describing error sources and their potential impact, with guidance on improving accuracy. Errors can be systematic or random, arising from equipment, image plane selection, measurement method and caliper placement and influenced by image quality, training and experience. The uncertainty in measurements is larger than clinically significant differences in fetal size and growth. Errors can be reduced by implementing equipment acceptance testing, written procedures, training and audit.
