Repeatability of estimated fetal weight: comparison between MR imaging versus 2D ultrasound in at- and near-term patients

Highlights • MR imaging for the estimation of fetal weight is more reliable than 2D-ultrasound. • Operator experience has a marginal impact on the variability of US estimated weight. • Operator experience has no impact on the variability of MR estimated weight.
