To evaluate the role of first trimester uterine artery doppler combined with mean arterial pressure in prediction of pre-eclampsia (PE) and intrauterine growth retardation. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Radiodiagnosis, JGMM Medical College/Suchirayu Hospital, Hubli,  among 100 pregnant women at 11-14 weeks of gestation age to assess U.A, P.I and M.A.P using U.A.D and then the same was applied to standard software of risk assessment certified by F.M.F, U.K. Results: In our study, incidence of PE and IUGR was 19% and 8% respectively. FMF was not able to diagnose PE in 3 subjects while it analysed wrongly in 6 subjects. FMF was not able to diagnose IUGR in 1 subject while it analysed wrongly in 3 subjects. Accuracy of FMF software in detecting PE and IUGR was 83.10% and 85.97% respectively. Conclusion: The F.M.F software was able to identify a significant proportion of patients who developed preterm P.E using a combination of maternal history, M.A.P and U.A.D.
