The diagnosis of IUGR often involves multiple steps:
Ultrasound: The primary method for diagnosing IUGR, measuring fetal size and estimating weight. Doppler Flow Studies: Assess blood flow in the umbilical artery, which can indicate placental insufficiency. Amniotic Fluid Measurement: Low levels can indicate IUGR. Fetal Monitoring: Non-stress tests and biophysical profiles can assess fetal well-being.
