Renal Color Doppler

Renal color Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique used to evaluate the blood flow in the kidneys. It utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images and measure the speed and direction of blood flow in the renal arteries and veins.

During a renal color Doppler ultrasound, a gel is applied to the skin overlying the kidneys, and a handheld device called a transducer is used to emit sound waves into the area. The sound waves bounce off the moving blood cells and are detected by the transducer, which converts them into images and provides information about the blood flow.
