Conditions

Fetal pancreatic echogenicity in gestational diabetes meliitus Fetal pancreas Pancreatic echogenicity Fetal pancreatic sonogram Gestational diabetes mellitus

Interventions

the fetal pancreatic echogenicity is increased, compared to the fetal liver echogenicity, by ultrasound examination at 24-28 week of gestation,the fetal pancreatic echogenicity is the same as the feta
