Color Doppler

color Doppler
Color Doppler is an enhanced form of Doppler echocardiography. With color Doppler, different colors are used to designate the direction of blood flow. This simplifies the interpretation of the Doppler technique.

COLOR DOPPLER
Color Doppler imaging is used mainly to image blood vessels which are difficult to see using the gray-scale image only.
Using color Doppler technique, flowing blood appears as an area of color in an otherwise gray-scale image.

A color Doppler provides a more detailed map of blood flow, using color to provide the extra information doctors need to identify a congenital heart abnormality, or a clot or obstruction in your circulation.
