Colour Doppler ultrasound combines conventional ultrasound imaging with Doppler technology to visualise blood flow direction and velocity in real time. It is a non-invasive, radiation-free technique that plays a crucial role in diagnosing vascular diseases, cardiac conditions and organ blood supply disorders.
At Dr. Anand's Diagnostic, Colour Doppler is performed by expert radiologist on high-end equipment. The test helps detect blockages, clots, abnormal flow patterns and vessel abnormalities throughout the body.
We perform carotid Doppler, peripheral arterial and venous Doppler, renal Doppler, hepatic Doppler, testicular Doppler, obstetric Doppler (umbilical, MCA, uterine arteries) and portal venous studies. Each study is reported with detailed flow velocity measurements and clinical interpretation.
A Colour Doppler uses the same sound-wave technology as standard ultrasound but adds colour mapping and spectral waveforms to show blood flow. It provides additional vascular information that a routine ultrasound does not capture.
For most peripheral vascular studies no preparation is required. For abdominal vascular studies, fasting for 4–6 hours is recommended. Our booking team will advise specific preparation when you schedule your appointment.
Yes. Colour Doppler uses ultrasound waves with no ionising radiation, making it completely safe for patients of all ages including pregnant women and newborns.
