Why is this test performed?
- Suspicion of fetal anemia
- Monitoring Rh incompatibility cases
- Assessing intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
- Evaluating oxygen delivery to the fetal brain
A non-invasive ultrasound assessing blood flow in the fetal brain to detect anemia or growth restrictions early, ensuring timely medical intervention for a healthy pregnancy and baby's safety.
Scientific name: Fetal Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) Doppler Ultrasound
A specialized ultrasound measuring peak systolic velocity in the fetal middle cerebral artery. It evaluates fetal anemia and blood flow redistribution in growth-restricted fetuses to ensure optimal prenatal care and safety.
