View larger version (15K): [in a new window]   Fig. 3. —Graph shows MR imaging estimates of biparietal diameter (•, BPD) (r = 0.960), head circumference (, HC) (r = 0.972), and cerebellar width (, CW) (r = 0.849) that were assigned a gestational age on basis of median sonographic measurements (y-axis) as function of gestational age based on sonographic and clinical assessment (x-axis). Pearson's correlation analysis was performed. For all measurements, p is less than 0.001.
