Color Doppler Rolls In Imaging Of the Lower Extremities Venous System

            Color Doppler imaging is a technique that allows medical providers to view and evaluate the flow of blood through the veins as well as arteries within the different organs of the body like the kidney and liver (Bhargava, 196).  The procedure is conducted in order to establish blood clots, especially in the organs veins.  The imaging strategy combines anatomical data derived by utilizing ultrasonic echo techniques with the data of velocity which is derived by utilizing Doppler techniques in generating colored images. Doppler imaging is therefore utilized in deriving information in regard to velocity (Bhargava, 196).

            Color Doppler helps in generating the capability of rapid localization of occlusions, arteries as well as in the identification process of those veins that fail to work. Color Doppler scanners help in detecting and displaying moving structures as they superimpose color onto the image scale (Mostbeck, 153).  Whenever the Doppler scanner detects any moving structure in the veins or in the flow of blood it superimposes color.  The flow of blood, as well as the velocity, is therefore indicated by the color Doppler through color superimposition.  The color additionally helps in interpreting the volume rate of blood flow and this is helpful in identification of high velocity which is linked with important arteries narrowing.

            Color Doppler is utilized in displaying the blood flow of venous.  The flow of blood is slower in the veins and therefore distinct settings are utilized. The velocity of blood flow ids additionally detected and indicated by the color Doppler scanner through the utilization of pulses.  This helps in the identification of blood clot as well as the direction of velocity flow while imaging lower extremities system of the venous (Bhargava, 199).
