Book SynopsisThis is a practical guide and quick reference for obstetricians and gynecologists using Doppler technology for better diagnosis with ultrasound. It indicates the use of Doppler for the differential diagnosis of different endometrial and myometrial lesions, as well as ovarian and tubal lesions. It also gives an idea about Doppler findings that differentiate between malignant and benign lesions.The important role of Doppler in deciding stimulation protocols for patients on assisted reproductive technology treatment, for assessment of functional maturity of the follicle and endometrium, and the correlation of these Doppler changes with hormonal level fluctuations is incuded. It also discusses the role of Doppler in fetal growth restriction and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) cases.Table of Contents1. Doppler Basics for a Gynecologist 2.
