Concordance and interobserver variability between our cohort and similar populations were both improved at 35+0-37+0 weeks' compared with 27+0-29+0 weeks' gestation. Overall, variable Mod-MPI reproducibility across gestations limits clinical application, especially earlier in pregnancy. Manual Mod-MPI measurement should be considered most reliable in late pregnancy until automated MPI measurement is possible.
