A member asked:
Could an ultrasound mistake a mole for a fetal pole? if crown-rump length is measured - is there definitely a fetus? it was measured at 4 mm.

Unlikely: Nothing is impossible. We are taught in med school to never say never and never say always but it is unlikely that a radiologist would make that kind of mistake.
