Frequently asked questions
When is CRL most accurate for dating?
CRL is most accurate between 7 0/7 and 13 6/7 weeks of gestation, with a precision of ±5–7 days.
What formula does this use?
Robinson-Fleming: GA (days) = 8.052 × √(CRL_mm × 1.037) + 23.73.
Why is ultrasound dating preferred over LMP?
First-trimester ultrasound is more reliable than LMP when menstrual cycles are irregular, when LMP is uncertain, or in pregnancies conceived with assisted reproduction.
When should I switch from CRL to other measurements?
After 14 weeks, CRL becomes unreliable. Use biometry (BPD, HC, FL, AC) for dating in the second and third trimesters.
