Abstract:
Doppler velocimetry of the fetal and maternal circulation can provide important diagnostic and prognostic information. However, the precise role of this technology in screening, diagnosis, and management of perinatal complications is still evolving. This article discusses some principles of physics, techniques, clinical applications, and limitations of Doppler velocimetry in obstetrics.
