Fetal thoracometry by means of ultrasound in the first trimester of pregnancy

A method for estimating the thoracic diameter of the embryo, using the ultrasonic time-motion technique (M-mode), is reported. A standard curve was established on the basis of 125 pregnancies between the 7th and 14th wk of amenorrhea. Gestational age could be estimated with an accuracy of 5–6 days i...
