Abstract
For the [human] clinical evaluation of the uteroplacental blood flow, radioactivity curve over the placenta is recorded by means of a gamma scintillation camera and is calculated by iterative regression method. The flow curves were attributable, with good clinical relevance, to 3 perfusion types: perfusion type I indicates unimpaired uteroplacental flow; type II is a transitional type to the pathological type III; over 2/3 of the type-III cases gave births to babies with signs of moderate to severe malnutrition and in 1 case an intrauterine death occurred.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
