1990•degruyter.comDoppler ultrasound has been recently introduced in the study of fetal circulation and several
vessels including umbilical artery (UA)[6, 10], descending aorta (DA)[7], internal carotid
artery (ICA)[13], middle cerebral artery (MCA)[15] and renal artery (RA)[12] have been
investigated. Preliminary statistical correlations between perinatal complications and
abnormalities in indices of flow resistance have been reported, suggesting a potential role
for Doppler ultrasound in the management of high risk pregnancies [11].
