Background: Materno-Fetal medicine is one of the most rapidly evolving fields in medicine
focusing on the medical and surgical management of high-risk pregnancies. Our present
knowledge of handling high risk pregnancies is much advanced owing to non-invasive
monitoring of Materno-fetal health i.e. Ultrasonography. Considering the paucity of
quantitative anatomical data regarding the fetal development of outflow tract vessels, a study
of morphometric analysis on fetal blood vessels was done. Aim: Aim of the study is to evaluate
the morphometric details of Aorta (A) and Pulmonary Trunk (PT) in the human fetuses using
Ultrasonographic method. The objective was to measure and correlate the internal diameters
of A, PT with regard to gestational age.
