Prediction of maturity in first trimester of pregnancy by ultrasonic measurement of fetal crown-rump length. 1976

A Kurjak, and S Cecuk, and B Breyer

Three hundred ninety fetal crown-rump measurements by ultrasound echography were performed in order to correlate the crown-rump length with gestational age between the sixth and fourteenth weeks of gestation. A blind trial in 58 patients showed a good correlation of ultrasonically determined age and menstrual age. A graph of normal values was designed and is currently being used in routine work.

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.
