Doppler Flow Studies
What is a Doppler flow study?
Doppler flow is a type of ultrasound that uses sound waves to measure the flow of blood through a blood vessel. Waveforms of the blood flow are shown on the ultrasound screen.

Doppler flow ultrasonography
Measures and visually records changes in the frequency of an ultrasonic wave, indicative of the change in velocity of the blood flow in the underlying vessels.

Doppler flow
Another way to interpret and diagnose IUGR during pregnancy is Doppler flow, which use sound waves to measure blood flow.
One way to interpret IUGR during pregnancy is with Doppler flow, which use sound waves to measure blood flow. The sound of moving blood produces wave-forms that reflect the speed and amount of the blood as it moves through a blood vessel.
Pregnant women that are diagnosed with IUGR will be closely monitored and additional tests and procedures will be done. Nonstress tests, biophysical profiles, ultrasound exams and doppler flow studies are all used to monitor for potential problems ...
biophysical profile - a test that uses the nonstress test and ultrasound to examine fetal movements, heart rate, and amniotic fluid amounts.
Doppler flow studies - a type of ultrasound which uses sound waves to measure blood flow.
