First Trimester Fetal UltrasoundMartha Decker, MD
First trimester
• Definition (ISUOG)• Stage of pregnancy starting from time when
viability can be confirmed (IUP with cardiac activity) up to 13+6 weeks gestation
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
activity) up to 13+6 weeks gestation• Embryo: before 10 weeks• Fetus: after 10 weeks; organogenesis
essentially complete
Purpose of first trimester ultrasound
• Provide information to provide optimized antenatal care with best possible outcomes for mother and fetus
Confirm viability
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
• Confirm viability• Establish gestational age• Determine number of fetuses; if multiples -
determine chorionicity/amnionicity• Detect gross structural abnormalities• Measure nuchal translucency

Safety during first trimester ultrasound
• Principle: scan the shortest possible time using the lowest possible power output necessary
• B-mode and M-mode OK
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
• Doppler (greater energy output) used only if clinically indicated
Viability
• Embryo with cardiac activity• Can be visualized at ~37 days gestation when
heart tube begins to beat
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
• Fetal pole measures ~ 2 mm or more• 5-10% will not have cardiac activity between 2
and 4 mm• Once viable, embryo increases in length
1mm/day
Early pregnancy measurements
• Gestational sac visible starting at ~ 35 days• Mean sac diameter (MSD): average of 3
orthogonal measurements of fluid-filled space
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
• CRL of embryo more accurate estimation of GA than MSD

First trimester measurements• Crown rump length (CRL)
• Ideally: midline sagittal section of whole embryo; image magnifies to fill most of screen horizontally; fetus not flexed or hyperextended b t t l iti l d i t f

but neutral position; clear end points of crown and rump; avoid inclusion of yolk sac; 6-9 weeks measuring neck-rump length; at 10 weeks, want to have fluid between chin and chest
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
Neck to rump length 6 to 9 weeks
Crown to rump length 10 to 14 weeks

Assessment of gestational age
• CRL most accurate determination GA in within 5 days either way
• Optimal time for GA is between 8 and 13+ weeks
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
weeks• Can use singleton nomograms for multiples• General rule: use CRL for GA when < 84 mm;
• then use HC followed by BPD
Assessment of fetal anatomy
• Advantages• Early detection and exclusion of major
anomaliesEarly reassurance to at risk mothers
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
• Early reassurance to at-risk mothers• Earlier genetic diagnoses• Safer pregnancy termination
• Limitations: trained and experienced scanners and late development of some structures like hypoplastic heart and cerebellar vermis
Assessment of fetal anatomy
• Head• Ossification by 11 weeks (look in 2 planes)• From 11 to 13+ weeks, dominated by large
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
lateral ventricles filled with choroid plexuses in posterior two thirds ie. “butterfly” sign
• Mantle: very thin and shouldn’t be mistaken for hydrocephalus
• Try to visualize lens, orbits, profile, NB, mandible +/- mouth and lips

Assessment of fetal anatomy
• Neck: NT measurement; hygromas and jugular lymph sacs
• Spine: longitudinal and transverse views; attempt made to show intact overlying skin
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
attempt made to show intact overlying skin• Thorax: effusions; cystic or solid masses;
ensure that stomach and liver are in abdomen• Heart: location in left chest; no Doppler during
routine scanning (use M-mode or clip for FHR)
Assessment of fetal anatomy
• Abdomen: 11 to 13+ weeks• Stomach and bladder – only hypoechoic
structures
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
• Stomach on left• Kidneys – slightly echogenic paraspinal
structures (tough)• Bladder visible by 12 weeks
Assessment of fetal anatomy
• Abdominal wall: > 12 weeks, assess cord insertion site (physiological umbilical hernia seen up to 11 weeks); gastroschisis and omphalocele can be diagnosed
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
omphalocele can be diagnosed• Limbs: 11 to 13+ weeks - each bony segment
can be identified; hands by 11 weeks• Genitalia: orientation of genital tubercle• Umbilical cord: brief evaluation of bladder
region with Doppler can confirm 1 or 2 arteries
