A Comparative Study of Intraplacental Villous Arteries by Latex Cast Model <i>in vitro</i> and Color Doppler Flow Imaging <i>in vivo</i>*

Abstract

Color Doppler flow sonography is a valuable tool for detecting the blood flow of intraplacental villous arteries in vivo and the images agree with the vascular anatomy of placenta in vitro. These results may also provide the basic parameters for future studies of some complicated pregnancies.
