Middle Cerebral Artery PSV and CPR Calculator

Calculate MCA peak systolic velocity (PSV) to screen for fetal anemia and cerebroplacental ratio (CPR = MCA-PI/UA-PI). MCA-PSV >1.5 MoM is the threshold for fetal blood sampling. Low CPR predicts adverse perinatal outcome in late FGR.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How to Use

Enter the values for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate MCA peak systolic velocity (PSV) to screen for fetal anemia and cerebroplacental ratio (CPR = MCA-PI/UA-PI). MCA-PSV >1.5 MoM is the threshold for fetal blood sampling. Low CPR predicts adverse perinatal outcome in late FGR. Use the mca psv/cpr result to inform your calculation.
