Colour Doppler
Colour Doppler ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that visualizes blood flow within the body’s vessels, providing essential information about blood velocity and direction. Unlike traditional ultrasound, which creates grayscale images to display structures, Colour Doppler assigns different colours to moving blood based on its speed and direction, allowing clinicians to assess blood flow characteristics in real-time.
Key Aspects of Colour Doppler
- Colour Mapping: Typically, red and blue colours represent blood flow. Red indicates blood flowing toward the transducer, and blue signifies blood flowing away from it. The colors’ shades (from light to dark) indicate speed—lighter shades reflect faster movement.
- Velocity and Direction: It helps detect abnormal blood flow patterns, such as those caused by blockages, narrowing (stenosis), or increased turbulence in vessels.
- Applications: Colour Doppler is widely used in cardiology to evaluate heart valve conditions, vascular medicine for blood clots or artery blockages, obstetrics to check blood flow in the placenta and fetus, and more.
Overall, Colour Doppler is a vital diagnostic tool that assists healthcare providers in detecting and managing various cardiovascular and vascular conditions effectively.
