Color Doppler

Color Doppler is a diagnostic imaging technique used in ultrasound to visualize blood flow within vessels. It combines traditional Doppler ultrasound with color coding to represent the direction and speed of blood flow. The red color typically indicates blood flowing towards the probe, while blue indicates blood flowing away. The intensity of the color represents the velocity of the flow. This method is useful in assessing conditions like blockages, aneurysms, and heart valve abnormalities. It helps doctors evaluate both the structure and function of the blood vessels in real-time.
