Fetal Growth & Color Doppler HD Live
Fetal Growth & Color Doppler HD Live is an advanced form of Doppler ultrasound that provides highly detailed, high-definition visualization of fetal blood circulation and organ perfusion. This cutting-edge technology allows extremely precise assessment of fetal well-being, placental function, and growth patterns. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Ashwini Rathi, HD Live Doppler offers superior diagnostic clarity for both routine and high-risk pregnancies.
What Is Fetal Growth & Color Doppler HD Live?
This scan combines standard fetal growth assessment with HD Live Doppler technology to evaluate real-time blood flow with enhanced depth, contrast, and spatial resolution. It allows clearer visualization of fetal vessels, cardiac circulation, and placental perfusion compared to conventional Doppler.
When Is This Scan Performed?
Fetal Growth & HD Live Doppler is typically performed in the third trimester between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. In high-risk cases such as preeclampsia, growth restriction, or twin pregnancies, it may be repeated at shorter intervals for close fetal surveillance.
Who Should Undergo HD Live Doppler?
- Suspected fetal growth restriction (IUGR/FGR)
- High blood pressure or preeclampsia
- Diabetes in pregnancy
- Previous history of growth-restricted baby
- Multiple pregnancies (twins/higher order)
- Reduced fetal movements
- Placental insufficiency
- Advanced maternal age
What Does the HD Live Doppler Scan Assess?
- Detailed fetal growth parameters and estimated fetal weight
- Amniotic fluid volume
- Placental position, grade, and perfusion
- Umbilical artery blood flow
- Middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler
- Uterine artery Doppler (when indicated)
- Venous Doppler including ductus venosus in selected cases
How Is the HD Live Doppler Test Performed?
The scan is performed transabdominally using a high-resolution ultrasound probe with HD Live Doppler software. Color and spectral Doppler evaluate real-time fetal circulation in fine detail. The procedure is completely non-invasive, painless, and typically takes 30–40 minutes.
Is Fetal Growth & HD Live Doppler Safe?
Yes. HD Live Doppler follows the same international ultrasound safety principles (ALARA) and is considered completely safe for both mother and baby when performed by a trained fetal medicine specialist. Dr. Ashwini Rathi strictly adheres to global safety standards during every scan.
How Are the Results Interpreted?
Normal findings indicate healthy growth and optimal placental blood supply. If abnormal flow patterns or growth restriction are detected, detailed counseling, closer monitoring, and coordinated obstetric management are advised. Early detection allows timely medical intervention and safe delivery planning.
Limitations of the Scan
Although HD Live Doppler significantly improves visualization, image quality can still be affected by fetal position, maternal body habitus, and reduced amniotic fluid. Serial scans may be required for accurate trend analysis.
Comparison: Standard Doppler vs HD Live Doppler
| Parameter | Standard Fetal Growth & Doppler | Fetal Growth & Doppler HD Live |
|---|---|---|
