Discover the flow within.
Color Doppler is an advanced ultrasound technique that visualizes blood flow inside the body in real-time. By using sound waves, it helps detect whether blood is flowing normally or if there’s any obstruction, narrowing, or reversal of flow within the vessels.
Unlike regular ultrasound that only shows body structures, Color Doppler adds motion and color, allowing doctors to study how blood moves through arteries and veins.
Red represents blood moving toward the probe
Blue represents blood moving away from the probeThis gives a clear, color-coded image of your body’s circulation on screen.
Color Doppler plays a key role in diagnosing many vascular and organ conditions. Some common uses include:
Checking blood flow in neck arteries (Carotid Doppler)
Identifying clots or blockages in leg and arm veins
Assessing kidney, liver, or abdominal blood vessels
Monitoring placental and fetal circulation during pregnancy
Evaluating testicular blood supply in suspected torsion or varicoceleThe scan is simple and painless.
A gel is applied to the skin, and a handheld probe is moved gently over the target area.
Sound waves reflect from the moving blood cells, and within minutes, color-coded images appear on the monitor for accurate interpretation.
