Color Doppler Studies

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.

🩺 What Makes Color Doppler Special

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 probe

This gives a clear, color-coded image of your body’s circulation on screen.

🌐 Where It Helps Most

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 varicocele
⚙️ The Process

The 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.
