Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
The scan measures the fetus, gestational sac and gives an average gestational age. If the difference between your LMP and scan is less than 7 days we say the scan corresponding to dates and the fetal age by LMP and scan is same. So for all purposes your LMP is used to calculate the delivery date.
Thanks.
