Conclusions
1. The interparietal diameter of the fetal head can be accurately measured by the ultrasonic method. The new ultrasonic diagnostic apparatuses UZD-5 and UDA-724 made in this country can be used successfully for this purpose.
2. The method is relatively simple, and safe for mother and fetus.
