Color Doppler

Color Doppler is an advanced ultrasound technique that helps visualize and measure blood flow through the arteries and veins in real time. It provides both color-coded and directional information about how blood moves within the body, allowing doctors to assess circulation and detect abnormalities such as blockages, narrowing of vessels, or blood clots.

This non-invasive and painless test is essential in evaluating heart and vascular health, monitoring pregnancy and fetal development, and diagnosing conditions related to the legs, arms, neck, and abdomen. It is often recommended for patients experiencing symptoms like swelling, pain, numbness, or poor blood circulation.

During the procedure, a transducer is gently moved over the skin, emitting sound waves that bounce off moving red blood cells. The reflected signals are processed by a computer to display vivid, color-coded images of blood flow — making it easier for doctors to understand the direction and speed of circulation.
