Monitoring the length of the uterine cervix using transvaginal ultrasound

Cervical length is measured with a 7-9 MHz transvaginal probe by trained obstetricians-gynecologists following the same standardized approach (Berghella 2003). Transvaginal CL measurement is largely used in current obstetric practice, and it is considered the 'gold standard' measurement when assessing the uterine cervix. In contrast to transabdominal US, the transvaginal approach is highly reproducible, and measurements are unaffected by maternal obesity, cervical position, and shadowing from fetal parts (Berghella 2003, Hassan 2000, ACOG 2012, Berghella 2012).
