title: [Potential clinical application of Doppler ultrasound in obstetrics].
abstract: The measurement of fetal and maternal blood flow velocities by Doppler-ultrasound is the first noninvasive method of studying utero-feto-placental haemodynamics. The pulsed Doppler is used by many observers to diagnose variations in the tissue resistance in certain clinical situations. The Doppler-ultrasound get the main importance in cases of intrauterine growth retardation, pregnancy induced hypertension, pregnancies in combination with diabetes mellitus and in cases of intrauterine hypoxia. This paper gives an overview about the clinical range of Doppler-velocimetry-investigations.
