I’m a few hours early this week because I knew exactly what I was going to post for this theme.
‘Tiny’ can mean many things to a radiologist. But the most beautiful tiny thing that I see routinely in my practice is this…
The transvaginal scan image shows a 6-week-old embryo which measures about 6 mm (about 2 eighths of an inch).
By the sixth week an embryo is usually more than 5 mm in length (which is described as CRL, standing for Crown-to-Rump Length) and shows definite cardiac pulsations, proving that it is a viable pregnancy.
This 6 mm blob of greyness will grow over the ensuing weeks to emerge as someone’s darling child.
Note: I’ll be out of town for the weekend. So I may not be able to visit other blogs or respond to comments here.

Excellent idea for tiny - I’ve been thinkin’ all week about tiny… and found it a challenge, myself…
Hey thanks a lot tnchick, you’ve made my day
Vijay, one of the very best parts of your job I’m sure and news that you must be very happy to deliver. Have a great weekend.
That is such a nice post. It is all fascinating.
That is a perfect picture for this theme. Makes me wish I was about 25 or 30 years younger. if I was doing photo hunts I would have used a newborn picture of my grandson that was born at 32 weeks gestation, several months ago. Oh, he was so beautiful. At least to me he was.
Must be the best part of your job ! I still have little V’s first scan picture
Not that I can make out anything out of it….still…
