The sex of the fetus may be discerned by ultrasound as early as 11 weeks' gestation. The accuracy is relatively imprecise when attempted early. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] [ 17 ] After 13 weeks' gestation, a high accuracy of between 99% and 100% is possible if the fetus does not display intersex external characteristics.
An ultrasound showing an embryo measured to have a crown-rump length of 1.67 cm and estimated to have a gestational age of 8 weeks and 1 day. Crown-rump length (CRL) is the measurement of the length of human embryos and fetuses from the top of the head (crown) to the bottom of the buttocks (rump).
A V/Q scan confers a higher radiation dose to the fetus, while a CTPA confers a much higher radiation dose to the mother's breasts. A review from the United Kingdom in 2005 considered CTPA to be generally preferable in suspected pulmonary embolism in pregnancy because of higher sensitivity and specificity as well as a relatively modest cost.

The doctor gave his audience a "treat" when he showed a rare look at what it's like for a 7-month-old fetus living inside a womb. The MRI video captured the infant swallowing amniotic fluid. The ...

The Doppler fetal monitor is commonly referred to simply as a Doppler or fetal Doppler. It may be classified as a form of Doppler ultrasonography (although usually not technically -graphy but rather sound-generating). Doppler fetal monitors provide information about the fetus similar to that provided by a fetal stethoscope. One advantage of the ...
There will be great variations in the body weight of a 16 weeks old fetus. The weight will not be constant for every fetus and will vary from individual to individual. Therefore, rather than an appropriate or standard value, a range can be specified like 90 to 100 grams. This number of variations applies to all other anthropometric measurements.
