Colour Doppler
Ultrasound with colour Doppler for blood flow, vessels, pregnancy and abdominal studies — real-time and radiation-free.
Ultrasound is imaging at the speed of life — real-time pictures with zero radiation, which is why it's the first-line study in pregnancy and the go-to for organs that move.
Adding colour Doppler overlays the direction and speed of blood flow onto the image, turning the same probe into a tool for finding blocked veins, narrowed arteries and abnormal circulation.
What we commonly scan

- Obstetric & abdominal scans

What to expect on the day
- Getting ready
You lie on the examination couch and the sonologist applies a warm gel to the skin over the area being scanned.
- The scan
A smooth hand-held probe glides over the skin. Colour Doppler lights up blood flow in real time — you may even hear your own pulse through the machine.
- Live answers
Because ultrasound is real time, the doctor can examine exactly where it hurts, watch organs move, and often discuss initial findings with you on the spot.
- Afterwards
The gel wipes straight off and there's nothing to recover from.
How to prepare
- Abdominal scans: fast for around 6 hours so the gallbladder and pancreas can be seen clearly.
- Pelvic and pregnancy scans: arrive with a comfortably full bladder unless told otherwise.
- Venous Doppler, thyroid and small parts: no preparation at all.
- Wear loose clothing that gives easy access to the area being examined.
