BPD is used in clinical practice to: - Estimate gestational age: BPD is one of the most reliable parameters for dating a pregnancy, especially in the second trimester. - Monitor fetal growth: Regular BPD measurements help track fetal growth and identify any deviations from the expected growth patterns. - Assist in delivery planning: Knowledge of the fetal head size can aid in planning the mode of delivery, especially in cases where a vaginal delivery might be complicated by a large fetal head.
