Abstract:
The application of uterine artery Doppler velocimetry as a screening test for pre-eclampsia and other adverse pregnancy complications is still considered a research tool by most obstetricians. Increasing use of colour Doppler ultrasound has allowed a better understanding of pathophysiological changes in the uterine circulation. This in turn has refocused attention on the potential use of uterine artery Doppler velocimetry as part of our antenatal screening strategy. This review summarizes the most recent work surrounding the application of this test as a screening test for pre-eclampsia.
