Explanation

Color Doppler is a type of ultrasound technology that doctors use to see blood flow in the body. It uses sound waves to create images and colors to show the speed and direction of blood flow. This can help doctors identify blockages in the blood vessels, blood clots, or other issues related to blood flow. It's a non-invasive procedure, meaning it doesn't require any cuts or incisions.
