About Doppler

A Doppler ultrasound, performed by a radiologist, is a non-invasive, painless imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize blood flow through arteries and veins. It provides real-time, color-coded images and audible sound representations of blood velocity and direction. This safe and radiation-free technique is crucial for diagnosing conditions like blood clots, arterial blockages, varicose veins, and assessing circulation to organs. It helps evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for vascular diseases. The radiologist interprets the dynamic flow information to provide a detailed diagnostic report, guiding further medical or surgical management.
