Crown Rump Length Calculator





Formula

The formula to calculate the Crown Rump Length (CRL) is:

\[ \text{CRL} = \frac{\text{FL} \times \text{GA}}{7} + 42 \]

What is a Crown Rump Length?

Crown Rump Length (CRL) is a measurement of the length of a human fetus from the top of its head (crown) to the bottom of its buttocks (rump), taken when the fetus is curled up in the fetal position. This measurement is typically used in prenatal ultrasound imaging during the first trimester of pregnancy (between 7 to 13 weeks gestation) to estimate the age of the fetus and predict the expected date of delivery. The CRL is considered the most accurate method of dating a pregnancy in the first trimester, as there is very little variation in fetal size during this period. It is a crucial parameter in assessing the development and growth of the fetus and can help identify potential abnormalities or risks.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Multiply the Femur Length by the Gestational Age:

\[ 30 \times 12 = 360 \]

Step 2: Divide the result by 7:

\[ \frac{360}{7} \approx 51.43 \]

Step 3: Add 42:

\[ 51.43 + 42 = 93.43 \text{ mm} \]

Therefore, the Crown Rump Length is approximately 93.43 mm.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Multiply the Femur Length by the Gestational Age:

\[ 25 \times 10 = 250 \]

Step 2: Divide the result by 7:

\[ \frac{250}{7} \approx 35.71 \]

Step 3: Add 42:

\[ 35.71 + 42 = 77.71 \text{ mm} \]

Therefore, the Crown Rump Length is approximately 77.71 mm.
