What is Umbilical Artery Doppler Flow used for?
use of ultrasound technology to assess placental perfusion. Assesses blood flow.
Umbilical Artery Doppler Flow is a diagnostic tool used in obstetrics to measure the blood flow in the umbilical artery, which supplies oxygen-rich blood from the placenta to the developing fetus. A Doppler ultrasound wand is used to measure the speed and direction of the blood flow in the umbilical artery. This is important because abnormalities in the blood flow could indicate complications in the pregnancy, such as fetal distress or growth restriction. Doppler Flow is a non-invasive and safe procedure that can provide valuable information to obstetricians in monitoring fetal health and making decisions about the timing and mode of delivery.
