Doppler Examination

The Doppler examination is a highly specialized ultrasound assessment that evaluates blood flow characteristics in both the pregnant woman and the fetus.

This method helps identify women at higher risk of developing late pregnancy complications, such as high blood pressure, fetal growth restriction, and other conditions.

The examination is performed at different gestational stages by a qualified specialist using advanced ultrasound equipment.

No special preparation is required from the pregnant woman.

Doppler examination is usually an integral part of the fetal morphology ultrasound. The specialist determines the appropriate Doppler type based on the specific indications during the examination.

Additionally, in cases of chronic fetal distress, Doppler evaluation assists in determining the most appropriate obstetric management approach.

All high-risk pregnancies with potential fetal distress (preeclampsia, diabetes mellitus, Rh isoimmunization, congenital thrombophilia, etc.) require Doppler monitoring.
Colour Doppler imaging is used to diagnose certain fetal structural abnormalities, placental abnormalities, umbilical cord complications, etc.
Pulse Doppler assesses maternal and fetal blood flow, plays a role in fetal echocardiography, and is used for prenatal screening of fetal anaemia in Rh-incompatible pregnancies.

At Plodnost Hospital, we offer a full range of Doppler examinations during pregnancy. All scans are conducted in a comfortable environment with state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment by highly qualified specialists.
