Based on our results, fetal weight estimation using the modified semiautomatic FLV models generates less accurate results in third-trimester fetuses compared to the Hadlock model. Those models recently published might improve the results of BW prediction by showing a higher precision than conventional models, especially in small and large fetuses. Further studies are needed to investigate the clinical usefulness of the new models.
