P09.07: Three‐dimensional imaging of the fetal skeletal system at 9 weeks' gestation

Abstract

Early pregnancy scans are generally performed to determine the location of the pregnancy, confirm viability and provide reassurance. Women usually wait until their 11 to 14 week scan for the presence or absence, and normality, of fetal structures to be assessed. We present a case of a 22 year-old nulliparous woman who presented for a routine early pregnancy ultrasound scan for reassurance which demonstrated a viable pregnancy with a Crown–rump length of 29mm (9 weeks and 5 days gestation). On two-dimensional transvaginal imaging, the fetal heart beat was present. A three-dimensional volume of the fetus was acquired and examined using Crystal Vue and Realistic Vue™ rendering software, enabling visualisation of the fetal limbs, fingers and spine.
