Doppler Sonography in Early Pregnancy

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter provides a review of the three major areas of the use of Doppler ultrasound imaging for fetal and maternal risk assessment in early pregnancy. Ductus venosus and tricuspid flow assessments have now become an essential part of prenatal diagnostic workup in the first trimester. Uterine artery Doppler offers early prediction of preeclampsia and other pregnancy complications that can lead to prevention of some of these disorders through prophylactic therapeutics such as low-dose aspirin. Further research in this field holds exciting opportunities for improving perinatal care and outcome.
