Body was changed:

The "T sign" is really the absence of a twin-peak sign(or lambda sign(λ) sign) and is used in ultrasound assessment of a multifetal pregnancy.

It refers to the lack of chorion extending between the layers of the intertwin membrane, denoting a monochorionic pregnancy. The intertwin membrane comes to an abrupt halt at the edge in a T configuration.
