Whole Body Colour Doppler

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

A Colour Doppler may help diagnose many conditions, including:

Blood clots In the vein (DVT)

Poorly functioning valves in your leg veins, which can cause blood to pool in your legs (venous insufficiency)

A blocked artery (arterial occlusion)

Narrowing of an artery, such as in your neck (carotid artery stenosis)

Renal artery Doppler : to look for significant renal artery stenosis in hypertensive patients

Scrotal Color Doppler : To rule out testicular torsion

Risks -

There is no known risk of a Colour Doppler scan. It does not harm the blood vessels, heart, brain, uterine structures or the fetus in anyway. Colour Doppler scan is, by far, a safe technique used as an alternative to more invasive diagnostic tools.
