Good evening sir I hope u will be fine. What is difference between between color flow and power doppler &heart rate and mca can use power doppler or not pls reply sir 🙏❤

[@DrSamsImagingLibrary]

Hello! In Color doppler, we can see the direction of blood with red and blue colors, and we can also measure the blood flow velocity. Power doppler can only show presence of blood flow. It does not tell us about direction or velocity of blood flow. It is helpful in detecting minimal blood flow in small vessels. It is often used to complement Color Doppler, especially when assessing conditions like fetal cardiovascular distress, fetal anemia, or fetal hypoxia.

If CPR is more than 1 normal; but MCA shows low resistance flow of RI 0.6 and PI of 1.1 - does it qualify for fetal hypoxia and brain sparing effect?

It indicate mild fetal hypoxia with early signs of brain sparing effect.

[@DrSamsImagingLibrary]

Hello! An MCA PI of 1.05 at 36 weeks and 3 days is generally considered to be within the normal range. However, the interpretation of this value can depend on various factors, including the context of the pregnancy, the specific methodology used for the measurement, and the reference ranges established by the facility conducting the ultrasound. If the only concern is a borderline MCA PI, and there are no other complications, a normal delivery might still be possible. However, this depends on the overall assessment of fetal health.
