Overview
- What this picture library is
- Reading the grey: bright, dark, black
- The three slices you will keep meeting
- How the atlas is arranged
Dating the pregnancy and checking the cervix
The two measurements made before the fetus is big enough to survey
- How ultrasound puts a date on a pregnancy
- Crown-rump length measurement
- Why the cervix is measured
- Cervical length on transvaginal ultrasound
The placenta and the umbilical cord
Where the afterbirth sits, and the three-vessel lifeline running from it
- Finding the placenta
- Anterior placenta on a sagittal uterine view
- Posterior placenta on a sagittal uterine view
- Cord insertion into the placenta
- What is inside the umbilical cord
- The cord in cross-section
- Three vessels seen across the cord
- Where the cord vessels run inside the fetus
- Fetal end of the cord and the vessels beside the bladder
- Checking the belly wall where the cord enters
- Intact abdominal wall at the cord insertion
The fetal heart at 12 weeks
The same cardiac views, obtained far earlier than the routine anatomy scan

The standard cardiac views
One continuous sweep from the four chambers up to the arches
- The cardiac sweep, step by step
- What the four-chamber view answers

- Three vessels seen in one transverse slice
- Two arches, and how to tell them apart
- Aortic arch and its head and arm branches
- Ductal arch in parasagittal section
- The great veins returning to the heart
- Both venae cavae draining into the right atrium
- Aorta and inferior vena cava side by side
- How fetal blood bypasses the liver
The fetal brain and the head measurements
Three axial planes carry almost the whole routine brain check

The fetal face
A profile, two coronal sweeps and an axial slice cover the whole face

- Coronal view of nose and upper lip
- Fetal tongue on a coronal view
- The palate, the orbits and the ears
- Fetal palate as a bright semicircle
- Both orbits on one coronal view
- Fetal ear in two planes
The chest and the abdomen
The diaphragm divides them, and one transverse slice carries the growth measurement
- The line that divides chest from belly
- Diaphragm as a dark curved line
- Lung and liver either side of the diaphragm
- Landmarks in the fetal abdomen
- Fetal gallbladder as a teardrop-shaped pocket
- Fluid-filled fetal stomach

- Plane and calipers for the abdominal circumference
Kidneys, adrenal glands, spine and external genitalia
The back half of the anatomy survey
- Finding the kidneys
- Both kidneys on a coronal view
- Renal arteries supplying both kidneys
- Kidneys on a transverse slice
- The adrenal gland
- Triangular adrenal gland above the kidney
- Checking the spine
- Lumbosacral spine with intact overlying skin
- Sagittal view along the spine

The limbs
Long bones are measured; hands and feet are counted and inspected

- Ulna and radius in the forearm
- Tibia and fibula in the lower leg
- Hands and feet
- Developing bones of the fetal hand

Doppler: looking at blood flow
Grey-scale shows structure; Doppler shows how hard blood is having to push
- What Doppler adds to the picture
- The numbers a Doppler trace reports
- Umbilical artery Doppler
- Umbilical artery Doppler waveform and indices
- Umbilical artery Doppler in the third trimester

Pulling it together
What to carry away from the normal atlas
