The baby who isn't growing properly may be developing some issues, but catching it early can prevent harm to the baby and mother. This lecture focuses on the process of measuring fetal growth and how using Doppler technology on the vessels of the umbilical cord, the brain and the uterus can shed more light into the functioning of the placenta. The speakers will talk about how to tell the difference between a baby who is just small but still healthy from a baby with potential problems and what kind of imaging can help.
What you will learn:
• How to measure the growth and size of your fetus correctly
• How to spot the difference between a small fetus and one that's restricted in growth
• Interpretation of Doppler ultrasonography of umbilical, cerebral and uterine arteries
• Use imaging results for planning surveillance and delivery
