This study was undertaken to determine if ultrasound estimates using amniotic fluid index (AFI) and single deepest pocket (SDP) techniques should be measured perpendicular to floor vs perpendicular to uterine contour in pregnancies between 20 and 28 weeks.
Study Design: Amniotic fluid was measured using AFI and SDP techniques in low risk pregnant women undergoing an indicated ultrasound between 20 and 28 weeks of gestation.
