Male vs. female baby brain size differences on ultrasound
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the brains of male and female babies during pregnancy to see if there are differences in brain growth between the sexes. It may help researchers learn more about normal brain development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses ultrasound to examine fetal brain and spine development in pregnant women. It compares scans from pregnancies where a brain or spine issue is suspected with those from healthy pregnancies to improve understanding and diagnosis.
This trial compares two ways to estimate a larger-than-average baby's weight before birth: ultrasound and MRI. If you have a single baby at full term and your doctor thinks your baby may be big, this study may help improve how well we predict birth weight.
This study looks at past fetal MRI scans to create a map of normal brain growth in babies before birth. It may help doctors better understand what healthy brain development looks like.
This study uses fetal MRI scans from a large group of healthy pregnancies to create standard growth charts for brain measurements. This helps doctors better understand normal fetal brain development.
This study tests how well ultrasound can predict if a baby will be born larger than normal (macrosomia) within 24 hours of delivery. It might help parents and doctors plan for a safer birth.
This study looks at whether measuring the thickness of the baby's belly fat with ultrasound can help predict the baby's weight before birth. This is for women at full term (37 to 42 weeks) with one baby.
