Ultrasonographic assessment of fetal thyroid in Japan: thyroid circumference and distal femoral and proximal tibial ossification

ConclusionWe generated a GA-dependent FTC nomogram for Japanese fetuses. We also confirmed the appearance timing of fetal distal femoral and proximal tibial ossification to assess bone maturation. These assessments may be very useful for evaluating fetal thyroid function in Japan.
