HERE IS A QUESTION FROM AIPGME 1998:
DOPPLER USG IN PREGNANCY HELPS TO DETECT:
1.IUGR.
2.CARDIAC MALFORMATION.
3.NEURAL TUBE DEFECT.
4.ABDOMINAL MASS.
AS FAR MY KNOWLEDGE A SMALL AMOUNT DIMINUTION OF BLOOD SUPPLY IN UMBILICAL CORD LEADS TO I.U.G.R.
BUT AGAIN WHEN THERE IS CARDIAC MALFORMATION, THERE IS DIMINUTION OF BLOOD SUPPLY IN THE UMBILICAL ARTERY.
NOW AS I KNOW , DOPPLER USG IS ULTRASONOGRAPHY WITH DOPPLER TO DETECT FLOW OF BLOOD IN THE UMBILICAL ARTERY SPECIALLY.
IF I AM RIGHT THEN THERE IS CONFUSION OF A SINGLE CHOICE AS ANSWER AS BOTH [1] AND [2] ARE CORRECT.
AM I WRONG ,MY DEAR FRIENDS?
REGARDS.

Specialized fetal echocardiography at 18 to 22 weeks for high-risk groups is well established as being sensitive and specific for most cardiac abnormalities. Early fetal echocardiography (<16+0 weeks, i.e. 16 weeks and 0 days) is a feasible alternative to mid second trimester scanning for families at risk of congenital heart disease. Two main areas have contributed to the increasing interest in first and early second trimester fetal echo. The recognition of the association between increased nuchal translucency and structural heart abnormalities has led to the identification of an important high-risk group at 11 to 14 weeks. Furthermore, the use of modern ultrasound technology has allowed greater utilization of transabdominal scanning in addition to the transvaginal route. Most major structural heart defects can accurately be diagnosed from the late first trimester of pregnancy and many families at-risk can be reassured of 'normality' of cardiac connections at an early stage. Some lesions may evolve throughout pregnancy and therefore early scans should not replace mid trimester fetal echocardiography

so ans is?

i think that b should be the best choice as doppler usg is not used to detect iugr. iugr is diagnosed by serial usg. it is a growth 'retardation' ie we need to monitor the growth and document a retardation as compared to normal.
so i would go for b.
