Introduction
Colour Doppler Ultrasound is a sophisticated imaging technique designed to assess blood flow through your body’s blood vessels. It plays a vital role in diagnosing various circulatory conditions, including vascular diseases, blood clots, and complications that may arise during pregnancy.
Key Functions
Assessing Blood Flow and Circulation:
- Colour Doppler Ultrasound generates detailed images that illustrate the flow of blood through arteries and veins. This technique is particularly effective in identifying blockages, narrowing of blood vessels, and other circulatory disorders.
- During pregnancy, Colour Doppler is utilized to monitor blood flow in the umbilical cord, placenta, and fetal organs, ensuring that the baby is receiving adequate oxygen and nutrients. It is an essential tool for managing high-risk pregnancies.
- This ultrasound technique is crucial in diagnosing conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), peripheral artery disease (PAD), and aneurysms. It also assists in evaluating the severity of these conditions, aiding in the development of appropriate treatment plans.
