Combined color doppler and 3-D ultrasound study of fetal abnormalities

Abstract

Considerable progress in sonographic techniques and the introduction of transvaginal sonography in particular have enabled detailed studies to be carried out on early embryonic development. Moreover, Doppler techniques can provide a wealth of information on the physiology and pathology of both the embryonic and the maternal circulation. This non-invasive modality allows analysis of hemodynamic patterns of fetal adaptation to hypoxemia and/or the presence of a severe reduction of oxygen supply to fetal blood and organs.
