This is a type of ultrasound that uses different colors superimposed on an image of blood vessels and indicates the speed and direction of blood flow in the vessel.
This test is highly beneficial to detect issues of blood flow, such as blocks in the veins or blockages in the arteries. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), a condition in which clots are formed in the veins of legs, can be detected using a color doppler.
This is a risk-free and pain-free procedure, it does not require any pre-preps from the patient’s end.
The test takes about 30-60 minutes to complete.
