Fetal Doppler Scan in Chennai – Detailed Assessment of Baby’s Blood Flow
Highly accurate Doppler scans performed by FMF-certified fetal medicine specialist Dr. Deepthi Jammi to evaluate blood flow to the baby, placenta, and key fetal vessels.
What Is a Fetal Doppler Scan?
A fetal Doppler scan is an ultrasound performed during pregnancy to assess the blood flow between the mother and the baby.
This scan evaluates blood flow in important vessels and ensures that the baby is receiving adequate nutrients and oxygen.
Ideally, a fetal Doppler scan is carried out after 24 weeks of pregnancy and may be repeated in high-risk pregnancies.

When Is a Fetal Doppler Scan Done?
A Doppler scan may be recommended if:
You have conditions such as preeclampsia or gestational diabetes
The baby is smaller or larger than average
You have a history of FGR (Fetal Growth Restriction) babies
Previous scans or screening tests showed high risk
You are carrying more than one baby (twins, triplets, etc.)
What Does a Fetal Doppler Scan Measure?
A fetal Doppler scan evaluates blood circulation in critical vessels to ensure the baby is receiving adequate oxygen and nutrients:
Uterine Arteries
Evaluates the blood supply flowing directly from the mother to the placenta.
Umbilical Artery
Monitors the essential blood flow traveling from the placenta to the baby.
Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA)
Measures the critical blood flow circulating within the baby’s brain.
Ductus Venosus
Assesses the blood flow specifically within the fetal circulation system.

How Is the Fetal Doppler Scan Performed?
A fetal Doppler scan is a simple, non-invasive ultrasound scan that uses sound waves to visualize the baby.
Abdominal route:
The expectant mother will be asked to lie on the examination table
A layer of gel is applied to the abdomen
The probe is gently moved over the abdomen
Blood flow patterns are visualized and displayed on the monitor, usually in red and blue colors
At Jammi Scans, Dr. Deepthi Jammi personally performs all NT Scans and interprets results. She carefully examines the baby and looks for any abnormalities. Some parents opt for a 3D NT scan to see the baby's facial features more clearly

Limitations of Fetal Doppler Scan
Does not detect structural abnormalities

May not detect all complications
Normal Doppler findings do not always rule out all pregnancy-related issues.
