Efficacy of Fetal Ear Length as a Prenatal Marker of Chromosomal Anomalies: A Prospective, Multicenter Cohort Study in a Southern European Population

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 88-98, January 2026.
Fetal ear length (FEL) correlates with gestational age and may help detect chromosomal anomalies. This study developed a nomogram for a Southern European population, showing high measurement reliability. While FEL ≤ 5th percentile increased anomaly risk, its moderate sensitivity and specificity limit clinical utility.

Fetal Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion in the Surveillance of Intra‐Abdominal Umbilical Vein Varix

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 51-58, January 2026.
Objective To describe the application of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) in monitoring cardiac function in cases of fetal intra‐abdominal umbilical vein varix (FIUVV). Methods The sample consisted of all cases of FIUVV diagnosed in a tertiary medical center between 2018 and 2023 that were assessed by sonographic fetal TAPSE.

First-Trimester Crown-Rump Length and Embryonic Volume of Fetuses with Structural Congenital Abnormalities Measured in Virtual Reality [PDF]

, 2017
Background With the introduction of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound it has become possible to measure volumes. The relative increase in embryonic volume (EV) is much larger than that of the crown-rump length (CRL) over the same time period.
