Abstract
What's already known about this topic? Accurate pathological assessment of small gestational age fetuses is challenging. Dating an embryo/fetus is essential to recognise expected human developmental stages and prevent misdiagnosis. What does this study add? Micro‐CT offers a non‐destructive, digital method for dating human embryos. The micro‐CT imaging here is of the earliest gestation human embryo published to date with corresponding pathology. It can provide an alternative to autopsy even at early stages of development.
