The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) recommends that pregnant women have routine obstetric ultrasounds between 18 weeks' and 22 weeks' gestational age (the anatomy scan) in order to confirm pregnancy dating, to measure the fetus so that growth abnormalities can be recognized quickly later in pregnancy ...
Cerebroplacental ratio is a tool used in obstetric ultrasound to predict adverse pregnancy outcome. [1] It is measured by dividing the pulsatility index of the middle cerebral artery of the foetus by the pulsatility index of the umbilical artery of the foetus. A cerebroplacental ratio lower than 1-1.1 in uncomplicated pregnancies is indicative ...
(day 16 of fertilization. [1]) A neural groove (future spinal cord) forms over the notochord with a brain bulge at one end. Neuromeres appear. (day 18 of fertilization. [1]) Somites, the divisions of the future vertebra, form. (day 20 of fertilization. [1]) Primitive heart tube is forming. Vasculature begins to develop in embryonic disc. (day ...
At 8 weeks of gestation when the fetus weighed 1 gram, the thymus could not be detected. In many of the 39 fetuses weighing around 1.3-14.7 grams, the thymus tissues could not be dissected by the group especially in the smaller fetuses due to its non-detection. Fetuses weighing more than or equal to 5 grams could be detected.
An embryo of a gestational age of 9 weeks and 0 days. The head is directed to the right in the image. The heart is discerned in the center of the embryo. A hand is visible slightly above. Even before the fetal stage begins, a six-week-old human embryo can arch its back and neck. [6]
Human embryonic development covers the first eight weeks of development, which have 23 stages, called Carnegie stages. At the beginning of the ninth week, the embryo is termed a fetus (spelled "foetus" in British English). In comparison to the embryo, the fetus has more recognizable external features and a more complete set of developing organs.

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).
