Ultrasonography is a common prenatal diagnostic tool used to estimate the age of a fetus. It involves using high-frequency sound waves to create a visual image of the uterus and the developing fetus. This can help doctors determine the size of the fetus and estimate its age and due date. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling are invasive tests used to diagnose genetic disorders or other fetal abnormalities, but they are not typically used to estimate gestational age. Teratology is the study of abnormal fetal development and the causes of birth defects, but it is not a test or tool used to estimate gestational age.
