Popis: Abstract Background Currently, no normal ultrasound data of the fetuses during the 20–40 gestation have been obtained for references of fetal growth and development. If such ultrasound data existed for prenatal diagnosis of possible diseases and abnormalities, neonates would be able to get timely treatment immediately after birth. This study was thus performed to obtain ultrasound parameters of normal fetuses during the 20–40 week gestation and the distribution of ultrasound parameters with the gestational age for references of detecting potential fetal diseases and abnormalities. Methods Normal fetuses without any abnormalities were enrolled, and the ultrasound parameters of the general biology, arteries, and aorta were measured and analyzed. Results 417 normal fetuses were enrolled. A significant (P
