At AEIRC diagnostic centers, we conduct various specialized screening tests of Color Doppler including the Venous System – Lower Limb, Scrotum Varicocele, Arterial System- Lower Limb, Renal Doppler, and OBST Doppler.


What is Color Doppler?

Color Doppler is a specific ultrasound test that overlays colors onto an image of a blood vessel, providing information about the velocity and direction of blood flow within the vessel.

This ultrasound test utilizes a computer to transform sound waves into different colors, visually representing the real-time speed and direction of blood flow.

A more advanced variation of Color Doppler, known as Power Doppler, offers a higher level of detail in assessing blood flow compared to the standard Color Doppler test.


Purpose of Color Doppler Test

The color Doppler test helps diagnose conditions and heart diseases that are decreasing or blocking the blood flow in the heart. This test is generally used to:

  • Examine for constricted or obstructed arteries.
  • Assess the circulation in the heart, arteries, and veins.
  • Evaluate blood flow post-treatment.
  • Identify aneurysms (abnormal artery bulges).
  • Assess blood flow to critical organs such as the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and spleen.
  • Detect abdominal aortic aneurysms.
  • Monitor fetal blood flow during pregnancy.

When is a Color Doppler Test necessary?

  • If you encounter symptoms indicating reduced blood flow or heart disease.
  • In the event of blood vessel injury.
  • As part of ongoing treatment for a blood flow disorder.
  • When a pregnant woman is suspected of having a blood flow issue in her unborn baby.

Color Doppler Test Procedure

Here’s a step-by-step outline of the Color Doppler test in Jaipur procedure:

  • You’ll be instructed to lie on a table, exposing the specific area of your body to be examined.
  • A member of the medical team will apply a special gel to your skin over the designated area.
  • Using a handheld device called a transducer, they will move it over the targeted area.
  • The transducer emits sound waves into your body during this process.
  • You will typically hear pulse-like or swishing sounds while the test is conducted.
  • The recorded waves will be transformed into images and graphs with various colors displayed on a monitor.
  • Once the images are captured, the staff member will remove the gel from your body.
  • The test usually lasts for approximately 30-60 minutes.

Preparation for the Color Doppler Test

Prior to the test, you may be requested to:

  • Remove any clothing or jewelry that covers the area of the body to be examined.
  • Refrain from consuming cigarettes and nicotine-containing products for approximately two hours before the test.
  • In some cases, fasting might be necessary before the examination.

Risks associated with the Color Doppler Test

The color Doppler test is safe with no related risks.
