About Color Doppler

Color Doppler is a specialized, non-invasive ultrasound imaging technique performed by a Radiologist to visualize blood flow through arteries and veins in real-time. It uses sound waves to create color-coded maps that show the direction and speed of blood circulation, helping to identify blockages, clots, narrowing (stenosis), or abnormal vessels. This procedure is crucial for diagnosing conditions like deep vein thrombosis, carotid artery disease, and evaluating blood flow to organs such as the liver, kidneys, or during pregnancy. It provides critical information without radiation exposure, making it a safe and essential tool for vascular assessment and guiding treatment decisions.
