Color Doppler ultrasound, also known as color Doppler ultrasonography, is a non-invasive, safe, and efficient medical imaging examination method.
1. It can clearly display the morphological structures of internal organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys, helping physicians assess their size, position, and the presence of any abnormal lesions.
2. Color Doppler ultrasound can also evaluate blood flow by observing blood flow velocity, direction, and distribution, aiding in the diagnosis of vascular diseases and cardiac valve function.
3. Color Doppler ultrasound is also widely used in obstetrics and gynecology, such as for monitoring fetal development and assessing placental function.
Prior to undergoing a color Doppler ultrasound examination, patients should follow medical advice regarding preparation, such as fasting or retaining urine. If any abnormalities are detected, timely medical consultation is recommended.
