Ultrasound scanning with 3D & Colour Doppler

What is Ultrasound scanning with 3D & Colour Doppler ?

Ultrasound scanning with 3D & Colour Doppler

Ultrasound imaging (sonography) uses high-frequency sound waves to view inside the body. Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can also show movement of the body’s internal organs as well as blood flowing through the blood vessels. Unlike X-ray imaging, there is no ionizing radiation exposure associated with ultrasound imaging.

In an ultrasound exam, a transducer (probe) is placed directly on the skin or inside a body opening. A thin layer of gel is applied to the skin so that the ultrasound waves are transmitted from the transducer through the gel into the body.

The ultrasound image is produced based on the reflection of the waves off of the body structures. The strength (amplitude) of the sound signal and the time it takes for the wave to travel through the body provide the information necessary to produce an image.

Pregnancy Scans:

Getting routine ultrasound scans during the pregnancy helps in monitoring the health and wellness of the fetus and baby. Also, it acts as a preventative measure to detect structural abnormalities in the fetus as well as monitoring the pregnant well-being of the mother.

These tests regularly performed at Ishta Diagnostics Centre are as follows:

• Genetic Screening Ultrasound Scans
• Early Morphology Ultrasound Scans
• Dating & Viability Ultrasound Scans
• Growth Ultrasound Scans
• Anomaly Ultrasound Scans
• Color Doppler Ultrasound Scans for Pregnancy
• Nuchal Screening for Down Syndrome

Pregnancy Monitoring

• Premature Birth Screening
• Fetal Wellbeing Ultrasound Scans
• Fetal Heart Ultrasound Scans (Fetal Echocardiography)

• Follicle Tracking Ultrasound Scans

Colour Doppler

A Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive test that can be used to estimate your blood flow through blood vessels by bouncing high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) off circulating red blood cells. A regular ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images, but can’t show blood flow.

Power Doppler sonography is a new technique that displays the strength of the Doppler signal in color, rather than the speed and direction information. It has three times the sensitivity of conventional color Doppler for detection of flow and is particularly useful for small vessels and those with low-velocity flow.
