A Fetal Doppler, also known as Pregnancy Doppler or Feto-Placental Profile (FPP) Doppler, is a specialized ultrasound used to evaluate blood flow in the baby, placenta, and uterus. At Shree Diagnostics, Howrah, we offer highly accurate Doppler studies performed by experienced Radiologists using advanced Doppler ultrasound machines.
This scan is essential for monitoring high-risk pregnancies and ensuring your baby is receiving the right amount of oxygen and nutrients.
What is a Fetal / Pregnancy Doppler (FPP Doppler)?
A Fetal Doppler is an ultrasound test that measures blood flow in:
- Umbilical artery
- Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA)
- Uterine arteries
- Ductus venosus (when required)
These measurements help assess placental function, fetal well-being, and growth patterns.
Why is an FPP Doppler Important?
Doctors recommend a Pregnancy Doppler when they need to:
- Monitor fetal growth restrictions (FGR/IUGR)
- Check oxygen and nutrient supply from placenta
- Assess high-risk pregnancies
- Evaluate reduced fetal movements
- Monitor twins or multiple pregnancies
- Check umbilical cord circulation
- Assess maternal hypertension or diabetes in pregnancy
- Identify risk of fetal distress
This test helps your doctor make timely decisions to keep the pregnancy safe.
