Local Color Doppler

Local color Doppler venous imaging is a specialized ultrasound technique used to evaluate the veins in a specific area of the body. It involves the use of ultrasound technology to create real-time images of the veins, along with color-coded flow information.

During the procedure, a small handheld ultrasound probe is placed on the skin over the area of interest. The probe emits sound waves that bounce off the veins and create images on a monitor. The color Doppler feature is used to assess the direction and speed of blood flow within the veins.
