Claudio, I think you understand. I am English only, and many think my English is questionable.

As I understand it, the fetal body has a natural priority to nurish the brain in times of insufficent nutrition. Insufficent nutrition can happen in events of placental problems. So if blood flow is low (high resistance in the placenta), the natural priority is to send more blood to the brain. By comparing the flow resistance in the brain to the body (aorta or kidneys, etc.) and umbilical arteries something is learned about causes of Interuterine Growth Restriction (IUGR). But there are wide variations.

Hope this is clear. Anyone else care to discuss?

Peace, Terry J. DuBose, M.S., RDMS
