Comparison of dynamic image and pulsed Doppler ultrasonography for the diagnosis of intrauterine growth retardation

Abstract

Dynamic image and pulsed Doppler ultrasonography were used to evaluate 104 potentially growth-retarded fetuses. The two techniques were compared, and then used together to predict whether or not the neonate would be growth retarded. Both ultrasonic diagnostic techniques showed good correlation with neonatal outcome, but their combined use improved diagnostic accuracy.

Efficacy of Yoga on Pregnancy Outcome

“…At each visit, an ultrasound scan monitored fetal growth: intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) was defined as an estimated weight Ͻ10th percentile (Singh, 2002). In addition, at each visit, Doppler ultrasound of the uterine and umbilical vessels was done to calculate the resistance index (Ott, 1990) and the total DVS.…”

Doppler Echocardiographic Assessment of Fetal Cardiac Failure

“…True IUGR caused by abnormalities in uteroplacental perfusion is characterized by selective changes in peripheral vascular resistance that can be evaluated using any of the angle-independent indices of Doppler velocity flow studies in the fetal peripheral vessels [112]. The author's experience has shown that umbilical artery Doppler velocity studies have been a significant help in the diagnosis and management of IUGR [13,111].…”
