Transvaginal pulsed Doppler velocimetry in fetal arteries.
Transabdominal pulsed Doppler velocimetry in fetal arteries might be difficult with extreme obesity, anhydramnios, cord presentation and an unfavourable position of the fetal head. A vaginal transducer gets closer to the presenting part of the fetus and therefore has advantages for Doppler velocimetry in fetal arteries.
