Fetal renal anatomy was assessed in 660 apparently normal fetuses. The problems of technique of visualization of the kidneys are outlined. A correlation of fetal kidney length and gestational age is presented. The results are presented to be used as an adjunct in establishing fetal gestational age, as well as the assessment of normal renal morphology in routine obstetric ultrasound assessment.
