COLOR DOPPLER
Color Doppler ultrasound is a non – invasive test that can be used to estimate your blood flow through blood vessels.
A computer then converts the Doppler Scans sounds into colours that are overlaid on the image of the blood vessel and that represent the speed and direction of blood flow through the vessel.
Color Doppler Test study of carotid vessels, abdominal vessels, renal vessels, extremity vessels can be performed with high accuracy. Obstetric Doppler can be performed for pregnant ladies to the assess the utero – placental & feto – placental insufficiency.
Doppler study of any lesion can be performed to assess their vascularity. Color Doppler Test in Kandivali ultrasonography is medical ultrasonography that employs the Doppler effect to generate imaging of the movement of tissues and body fluids (usually blood), and their relative velocity to the probe. By calculating the frequency shift of a sample volume, for example, flow in an artery or a jet of blood flow over a heart valve, its speed and direction can be determined and visualized. Color Doppler Tests in Kandivali or color flow Doppler is the presentation of the velocity by color scale. Color Doppler images are generally combined with grayscale (B-mode) images to display duplex ultrasonography images, allowing for simultaneous visualization of the anatomy of the area.
This is particularly useful in cardiovascular studies (sonography of the vascular system and heart) and essential in many areas such as determining reverse blood flow in the liver vasculature in portal hypertension.
How Do I Prepare for It?
Generally, it helps to wear loose-fitting clothes to the test, though your doctor may ask you to change into a gown. Also, you may want to leave jewelry at home, since you’ll have to remove it from any area to be tested. If you’re getting the test for DVT or other issues in your legs, you won’t need to do anything else. For a Doppler ultrasound on your belly, your doctor may tell you to fast for 6 to 12 hours before the test. That means you won’t be able to eat or drink anything during that time. You’ll only be able to drink a small amount of water to take your regular medicines. For women getting a pelvic Color Doppler Tests in Kandivali ultrasound, you’ll have to drink 32 ounces of water 1 hour before the exam. You need to have a full bladder for the test to be effective.
What Happens During the Test?
You will lie on a table, usually on your back. Your doctor or a technician will rub a gel on the area to be tested. This helps the sound waves travel and gives you better results. Next, they will press a small device against your skin. It looks like a microphone or a wand. As they move the device around, it sends sound waves into your body. The waves bounce off your blood cells, organs, and other body parts, then back to the device. You’ll feel some pressure from the device, but unless you have tenderness, it won’t hurt.
