A member asked:

To measure the head size of the fetus in the womb, which medical imaging will the physician use and why?

Dr. Bruce J. Stringer answered

Specializes in Radiology

ULTRASOUND!!!: Ultrasound is well established for evaluating fetal measurements with well established standards and no demonstrated negative biological effects in humans. Far superior to x-rays and far less expensive than mri.
