Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity Waveforms: Clinical Application

  • Chapter
Doppler Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Abstract

This chapter reviews the clinical application of Doppler ultrasound velocimetry of the cerebral blood flow in the fetus. There are two main clinical applications of the fetal Doppler cerebral blood flow velocity waveforms:

1. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) pregnancies

2. Diagnosis of fetal anemia
