title: Transvaginal pulsed Doppler velocimetry in fetal arteries.
abstract: 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.
