About this scan
- A Doppler scan measures the speed and direction of blood flow through vessels using sound waves, giving the doctor information that standard B-mode ultrasound cannot provide.
- In pregnancy, it is most often used to examine blood flow in the umbilical artery, uterine arteries and fetal cerebral vessels — each giving different information about placental function and fetal wellbeing.
- Outside pregnancy, Doppler is used to assess blood flow in the neck, abdomen, kidneys and limbs depending on the clinical question from your doctor.
Who may need it
- Pregnant patients in the second or third trimester when the obstetrician wants to assess placental blood flow alongside a growth scan.
- High-risk pregnancies where closer fetal surveillance is needed — such as those involving growth restriction, hypertension or prior pregnancy complications.
- Patients referred for vascular assessment of abdominal organs, renal vessels or peripheral circulation when a doctor has requested Doppler evaluation.
Preparation
- In most cases no specific preparation is needed, but confirm at the time of booking as some Doppler studies require a partially full bladder or fasting.
- Bring all previous pregnancy scans, growth scan reports and any referral letter from your obstetrician.
- Allow adequate time — Doppler assessment is often combined with a growth scan and requires careful, unhurried imaging.
What to expect
- The scan is performed over the abdomen using the same ultrasound probe, with Doppler mode activated to measure blood flow at specific vessels.
- Colour Doppler shows blood flow direction on screen, while spectral waveform analysis gives the doctor detailed measurements to interpret.
- The report is used by your obstetrician alongside clinical examination and other scan findings to guide ongoing pregnancy management.
