There are good linear correlations between the heights of LVBOC and GA, lengths of LVBOC and GA, heights of intervertebral gap and GA.The LVBOCs may show linear T2 hyperintensity in the mid-sagittal plane (14/465 vertebra). The positions of conus level lies from L1 to L3. 
Figure 1 24 gestational weeks. Figure 1A, measuring of height and length of L5 vertebral ossification body center, and height of L3-4 IVP. Figure 1B, the location of conus medullaris.
Figure 2 24 gestational weeks, the mid-sagittal plane of lumbar spine showed linear T2 hyperintensity in L2 and L4 vertebral ossification body center.
