A study was made in order to assess whether the combined use of color flow mapping and conventional pulsed Doppler could improve the accuracy of blood flow velocity waveform analysis in fetal and placental circulations. Fifty patients were studied at 18 to 20 or 26 to 28 weeks of gestation by two trained investigators by means of either conventional Doppler or conventional Doppler plus color flow mapping. Recordings were performed at the level of the uterine arteries, umbilical artery, descending aorta, and internal carotid artery. The experimental procedure was repeated the following day with the patients undergoing the alternate technique of recording. In all the vascular districts investigated, color flow mapping allowed us to obtain a higher number of reliable recordings, to shorten the observation time, and to reduce the intra- and interobserver coefficient of variations.
