Comparison of fetal cerebellar measurements by two different techniques

We examined 53 fetuses between 15 and 40 weeks of gestation with transverse and coronal sections of the head in order to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of the coronal cerebellar diameter. Intraobserver coefficient of variation was less than or equal to 2.2% and the mean interobserver difference was 2.2% (range, 0 to 6%). A positive linear correlation exists between transverse and coronal measurements (coronal diameter = 1.02 x transverse diameter - 0.48; R2 = 0.99; P less than 0.0001). We conclude that the coronal cerebellar diameter is reproducible and accurate and when indicated clinically can be used instead of the transverse cerebellar diameter when the latter is not obtainable because of fetal position.
