Fetal sex determination

ABSTRACT

Two different techniques have been used for fetal sex determination a. Single plain radiography of the abdomen of the pregnant lady at her third trimester of gestation has been taken after giving her Di-iodohydroxyquinolin compound for three successive days prior to radiography. The correct fetal sex was reached in 112 out of 126 examined cases i.e. 89% b. Sonographic scanning of the pregnant abdomen using either direct method or the railed one has been performed in 500 pregnant ladies. Correct results were reached in 196 out of 300 examined cases by the direct method i.e. 65%. The railed technique proved to be simple and accurate and the correct results were reached in 190 out of the examined 200 cases
