Color Doppler

Overview

Color Doppler is a specialized ultrasound examination that uses sound waves to evaluate the movement of blood through blood vessels. It helps doctors assess the speed and direction of blood flow, detect blockages, blood clots, narrowed arteries and other vascular conditions without the use of radiation.

At Apple Scans & Diagnostics, Ongole, Color Doppler studies are performed using advanced ultrasound equipment, providing detailed vascular imaging and accurate diagnostic reports.
