Color Doppler

Vascular flow studies for veins, arteries and high-risk pregnancy monitoring.

About This Service

Color Doppler is a specialised ultrasound technique that visualises blood flowing through arteries and veins in real time, with flow direction and speed shown in colour. It is essential for diagnosing blocked or narrowed vessels, blood clots and varicose veins.

Common indications include leg swelling or pain (to rule out DVT — deep vein thrombosis), varicose veins, suspected carotid artery narrowing after stroke or TIA, and monitoring blood supply to the baby in high-risk pregnancies.

Our vascular imaging experience also supports image-guided vascular intervention procedures — a rare capability among diagnostic centres in the region.

What We Offer

• Venous Doppler (Single / Both Limbs) — DVT & varicose veins
• Arterial Doppler (Limbs) — blocked artery evaluation
• Carotid Doppler — neck vessels / stroke risk
• Renal Doppler — kidney blood flow
• Obstetric Doppler — high-risk pregnancy monitoring
• Scrotal Doppler — testicular blood flow

How to Prepare

• Limb and carotid Doppler: no preparation needed.
• Renal / abdominal Doppler: 6 hours fasting recommended.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing for easy access to the area being examined.
• Carry previous Doppler or vascular reports if available.
