title: Doppler echocardiography and color flow mapping.
abstract: Doppler color flow mapping permits real-time integration of structural and functional information. Flow through fetal and maternal vessels can be examined. Evaluation of fetal cardiac function can be enhanced, and structural abnormalities can be thoroughly studied. Other important applications include improved diagnoses of ectopic pregnancy and ovarian cancer.
