An ultrasound at this point will show many but not all of the possible defects of the skeletal and major organ systems. The heart has been formed as a four-chambered structure since the sixth week (and before this in another form) and develops in size from then on. At this point, probably less than a third of heart defects can be detected. Certainly the major ones can.
