Note:—SEM indicates standard error of the measurements; APD, antero-posterior diameter; BPD, biparietal diameter; CCD, cranio-caudal diameter; CV, coefficient of variation; CSA, clivosupraoccipital angle; LCC, length of the corpus callosum; LLD, latero-lateral diameter; FOD, fronto-occipital diameter; PCF, latero-lateral diameter of the posterior cranial fossa.

^aThe number of observations.

^bMean of all measurements.

^cMean difference between assessor B and assessor A (difference in accuracy of assessors A and B).

^dPercentage interassessor difference [100 × (B−A) / mean].

^et test for difference in B−A.

^fMeasuring error—that is, the SD of the measures of the same fetus (lack of precision).

^gMeasuring error expressed as coefficient of variation (%) of (100 × SEM / mean).

^hCorrelation coefficient between interassessor B−A difference and the mean of the measurements made on a single fetus.
