Folks, we are trying to help the TTTS Foundation with their web site, but do not have all the images that they have requested. http://www.tttsfoundation.org/
Specifically needed are good Dopplers showing Low, Medium, and High resistance flow (
>normal dopplers, absent diastolic flow and then reverse flow
) in the umbilical cord. If any of you could help by sending these three images, it will be appreciated, and attribution will be given. Please be sure to include the name of the individual/institution who actually made the sonograms. I can't seem to find any that aren't already copyrighted.
Thanks, Terry J DuBose, M.S, RDMS
