Abstract

Background: Doppler procedures have been the subject of investigation and interest in the field of obstetrics since the initial report of signals from the umbilical artery. Aim and objectives: To evaluate the role of the Doppler study in high-risk pregnancy and fetal growth retardation. Patients and methods: This prospective investigation has been performed on 50 pregnant females inside the third trimester with one or all the higher hazard components who were suspected of Doppler examination for early finding and avoidance of intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) in Al Zahraa University Hospitals, Radiology Department. Device (Philips) low-frequency probe (5.7 MH). Results: In correlation with the legitimacy of various Doppler lists that were examined, the Um-S/D proportion had the most elevated affectability (55.9%); notwithstanding, MCA-PI had the most elevated specificity (98.9%) and the most astounding PPV (96.0%) and the C/U pulsatility proportion had the second most elevated specificity (95.6%) and PPV (88.9%) after MCA-P. Conclusion: Multi-vessel Doppler ultrasonography can precisely delineate the movement in IUGR embryos. Attributable to the critical relationship between blood vessel Doppler variations from the norm and unfriendly neonatal results, we prescribe routine Doppler appraisal of the embryo to decide the ideal planning of conveyance in pregnancy by and large and in high-hazard pregnancy extraordinarily.
