Ultrasound report at 11, 12, 13 and 14 weeks: ready templates
Between 11 and 14 weeks the obstetric scan confirms viability, the number of fetuses and gestational age, and it is the last stage in which the CRL dates the pregnancy accurately. Below are the singleton template, the monochorionic twin template and the example of a gestational age that differs from the LMP. Nuchal translucency and aneuploidy screening are in the first-trimester anomaly scan template.
OBSTETRIC ULTRASOUND
TECHNIQUE:
Transabdominal scan.
FINDINGS:
Gravid uterus containing a single fetus.
Fetal cardiac activity present, heart rate of [x] bpm. Fetal movements present.
Crown-rump length (CRL): [x] mm.
Cephalic pole with an ossified skull vault. Stomach and bladder visible. Four limbs identified.
[Anterior/posterior] placenta, with normal appearance.
Normal amniotic fluid volume.
IMPRESSION:
Single pregnancy with a live fetus, [x] weeks and [x] days by CRL.
Estimated due date: [dd/mm/yyyy].
NOTE:
This scan does not include aneuploidy screening (nuchal translucency and other markers), which is done in the first-trimester anomaly scan.
FINDINGS:
Gravid uterus containing two fetuses, separated by a thin membrane with a T sign.
Fetus [1]: CRL of [x] mm and cardiac activity present, heart rate of [x] bpm.
Fetus [2]: CRL of [x] mm and cardiac activity present, heart rate of [x] bpm.
Single [anterior/posterior] placenta.
Normal amniotic fluid volume in both sacs.
IMPRESSION:
Monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy with two live fetuses.
Gestational age by the CRL of the larger fetus: [x] weeks and [x] days.
CRL discordance: [x]%.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Ultrasound follow-up every 2 weeks from 16 weeks, due to the risk of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
FINDINGS:
Single fetus, cardiac activity present.
CRL of 52 mm, corresponding to 11 weeks and 5 days.
Gestational age by LMP: 13 weeks.
IMPRESSION:
Singleton pregnancy with a live fetus.
Gestational age by CRL of 11 weeks and 5 days, 9 days less than calculated by LMP.
Difference greater than 7 days: dating is now by CRL, with an estimated due date of [dd/mm/yyyy].
