The colour Doppler test is of many types which are mentioned below:
Power Doppler shows the direction of the blood flow hence it provides more detail about the blood flow than the standard colour Doppler test.
Colour Doppler shows the speed and direction of the blood flow. The sound waves that are converted into the image on the computer screen are shown in different colours.
The Duplex Doppler uses the standard ultrasound technique to turn the images of blood vessels and organs into graphs that are then displayed on the computer screen.
For blood flows of a faster speed, a continuous wave Doppler is used. This test involves simultaneous sending and receiving of sound waves which provide for greater accuracy.
The spectral Doppler shows the blood flow image as graphs rather than coloured pictures which can provide clear information as to how much of the blood vessel is blocked.
The doctors may advise you to fast 6-12 hours before you take the Colour Doppler test if it is to be performed on your belly. This would mean that you cannot eat or drink before the test, although you can consume little amounts of water for the intake of medicines. For a Colour Doppler test of the leg, you don’t need to do a lot before the test.
