Umbilical artery Doppler

Umbilical artery Doppler in OBGYN is a critical ultrasound technique assessing blood flow in the umbilical arteries, vital for fetal well-being. This non-invasive medical imaging method helps monitor placental function and identify potential fetal compromise. By analyzing blood flow patterns, obstetricians can detect conditions like placental insufficiency, which may impact fetal growth and development.

This specialized ultrasound application provides crucial insights into fetal circulation, enabling timely intervention for high-risk pregnancies. Umbilical artery Doppler studies are a cornerstone of modern obstetric care, offering valuable diagnostic information to healthcare providers for improved pregnancy outcomes.
