Abstract
Blood flow in the descending human fetal aorta and in the intra-abdominal portion of the umbilical vein was quantified using pulsed Doppler ultrasound in a longitudinal series of normal pregnancies, the accuracy of the method was verified in vitro. Although the method is relatively simple, determination of absolute blood flow in these vessels has little clinical potential because of inherent measurement inaccuracies.Keywords
