What does hc mean?

Every expectant mother will undergo a series of tests from the initial stage to the final stage. In the second half of the examination, there will be B-ultrasound recommended by the doctor. Dear expectant mothers, do you know what the meaning of each value in the B-ultrasound is? For mothers in the late stages of pregnancy, perhaps the biggest change is their abdomen, but the most important point is the growth and development of the baby. So the editor would like to ask what does B-ultrasound hc mean?

What does B-ultrasound hc mean

In B-ultrasound, hc refers to the baby's head circumference, ac refers to the baby's abdominal circumference, and fl refers to the baby's femoral length, that is, the length of the baby's thigh bone, also known as "thigh bone length". These are all indicators for calculating the size of the fetus. Therefore, every B-ultrasound data taken by the expectant mother can show whether there is any abnormality in the baby's development, so B-ultrasound is a very necessary prenatal examination content.

What are the characteristics of B-ultrasound?

1. Improve the coronary artery cross-section image while maintaining the two-dimensional imaging.

2. Three-dimensional positioning, axis adjustment, the three axes of ABC can be adjusted at will until the best image is displayed.

3. Three-dimensional display, dynamic visualization; it can observe the activities of the fetus's head, body surface and internal organs in real time, and the images are clear, accurate and reliable.

4. Laser cutting function can preserve the key points of the image; cut off the useless parts and perform 3D reconstruction and display of abnormal parts.

5. The rotation function allows for multi-directional observation; it has 360° rotation functions in the front, back, left, and right directions, allowing for all-round observation of images in different directions.

6. You can take exquisite photos of the fetus, record the changes in facial expressions and burn them to a CD for material storage as a permanent souvenir.

7. It can display the three-dimensional relationship and adjacent relationship of diseases at different levels. The application of 3D color ultrasound in obstetrics provides rich image information for clinical ultrasound diagnosis. The fetus is surrounded by fluid in the amniotic cavity, which is an excellent imaging feature of 3D ultrasound. The image is three-dimensional, vivid, and the viewing angle can be adjusted at will. Abnormal structures can be observed by rotating the three sections, and the deformity of the fetus's general structure can be seen at a glance, which greatly improves the quality of diagnosis and treatment and reduces misdiagnosis or misdiagnosis.

In fact, there are many standard values ​​in B-ultrasound, not only the meaning of B-ultrasound hc, but also a series of standard values ​​such as ac, bpd, etc. Although the doctor will tell expectant mothers whether the fetus has reached the normal level when doing these tests, as a mother, you still need to understand the significance of each item. Finally, I wish every mother can give birth to a baby who is healthy both physically and mentally.
