Fused and single data sets were compared in terms of image quality and femur volume (FV) measurement repeatability. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Method:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; In healthy pregnant volunteers, six volumes of the same femur were acquired and fused into a composite data set. Image quality scores were given to the fused and single data sets by an independent assessor in a blinded fashion; repeatability of FV measurement was assessed using coefficients of variation (CV), intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Fusion was successful in 24 out of 25 cases. Median image quality score was 7\/10 in fused data sets, compared to 6\/10 in single data sets (p = 0.096). Repeatability of FV measurement was better in fused data sets (intraobserver CV 4.6% and ICC 0.987; interobserver CV 4.9%, ICC 0.985) compared to single ones (intraobserver CV 5.8%, ICC 0.977; interobserver CV 10.0%, ICC 0.931). The measured FV was significantly higher in fused data sets (mean FV 1.7 vs. 1.3 ml, p &lt; 0.001). &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Image registration and wavelet-based fusion can improve image quality and FV repeatability; it also results in an increased FV measurement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000354342","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,16]],"date-time":"2013-09-16T09:16:48Z","timestamp":1379323008000},"page":"158-165","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Fusion of 3D Ultrasound Images of the Fetal Femur Improves Boundary Definition and Volume Measurement"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Mohammad K.","family":"Yaqub","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christos","family":"Ioannou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad K.","family":"Javaid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cyrus","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aris T.","family":"Papageorghiou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.
