Abstract

Diagnostic ultrasound imaging, particularly that which includes pulsed wave Doppler interrogation, is a safe, real-time modality by which the risk of developing preeclampsia can be refined, and the effects of established disease can be assessed. This chapter outlines the rationale and technique for Doppler interrogation of the maternal ophthalmic and uterine arteries and grayscale imaging of the maternal optic nerve sheath diameter.

Keywords: Doppler; Ophthalmic; Preeclampsia; Ultrasound; Uterine artery.
