Colour Doppler Study

A Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive test that can be used to estimate the blood flow through your blood vessels by bouncing high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) off circulating red blood cells.

A Doppler ultrasound may help diagnose many conditions, including:

• • Blood clots in vein (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
• • Poorly functioning valves in your leg veins, which can cause blood or other fluids to pool in your legs (venous insufficiency)
• • A blocked artery (arterial occlusion)
• • Decreased blood circulation into your legs (peripheral artery disease)
• • Bulging arteries (aneurysms)
• • Narrowing of an artery, such as in your neck (carotid artery stenosis)

List of Common Color Doppler test procedures:

• • Abdominal Doppler
• • ANC Doppler
• • Carotid Doppler
• • Renal Doppler
• • Scrotal Doppler
• • Single limb Doppler (Arterial & Venous)
• • Double limb Doppler (Arterial & Venous)
