The team used a method called Doppler ultrasound to measure blood flow in the umbilical cord and found that vitamin C helped improve blood flow in pregnant smokers, bringing it closer to the ...

Current evidence suggests that using Doppler ultrasound in high-risk pregnancies to monitor a fetus' health may reduce caesarean sections and the number of babies who die, according to a new review.

A Doppler ultrasound that measures the blood flow of small unborn babies can reveal whether or not the placenta is working properly. In case of repeated deviations from these Doppler measurements ...

Doppler ultrasound scan is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to evaluate blood flow to our body. It is usually done for arms and legs, carotid arteries, brain and heart.

Of course, ultrasound has long been used to track fetal growth. However, the new research used "Doppler ultrasound" to look more closely at the resistance of blood vessels within the umbilical cord.

Doppler velocimetry uses ultrasound to check blood flow in the umbilical cord or between the uterus and the placenta. If the blood supply is restricted, your baby can't get enough nutrients and ...

To examine the association of physical activity on maternal–fetal circulation measured by uterine and umbilical artery Doppler flow velocimetry waveforms. Participants included 781 pregnant ...

Can screenings and closer looks through Doppler imaging prevent fetal deaths? Some OB-GYNS are advocating for it, while others caution against false alarms.
