What is the ultrasound of the color doppler?
Color Doppler Ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that is used to see blood flow visualization, using color processing to add color to the image so that the doctor or care provider can clearly see what is happening inside the body. This technique requires the use of an ultrasonic machine capable of colored Doppler ultrasound and can be performed in a hospital or clinic as an outpatient procedure. After performing this imaging study, it is not usually painful and the patient does not require sedatives. In this technique, the ultrasonic converter is used to transmit sound to the area of interest and read the returning sound. When the sound reflects a moving target, such as a blood vessel, the playground changes due to the Doppler effect. The converter can detect very fine changes in the tone height and record them visually, creating a picture that shows, the pupils flows and in which direction. This is the place where the color doppler ultrasound comes with an ultrasonic machine assigning the colors that depends onwhether blood moves towards or from the converter. In addition to the direction of flow, the colors also differ in intensity depending on the speed of flow, allowing people to see how fast blood moves.
One apparent application of color doppler ultrasound is examined by a patient with suspicious aneurysm or occlusion. Ultrasound reveals areas where blood flow changes and acts as a red flag to point out the problem. This technique can also be used to find blood clots that will also be clearly visible in the color display.
When examining tumors and venous malformations, doctors can use a colorful ultrasound for mapping blood and learn how far the growth has spread. This may have an impact on which treatment the doctor recommends and how the doctor wants to approach surgery and other measures.
While ultrasound of colored doppler usually includes the use of a converter on VNIt can be used for transrectal and transvaginal procedures in which the probe is inserted to get a better look. In these cases, patients may be administered with muscle relaxators, so the procedure will be less unpleasant.
