Doppler Studies

Ultrasound that sees blood flow — arteries, veins, neck vessels and the baby's circulation, on GE machines at Baddi, Nalagarh and Pinjore. Radiation-free.

What Is a Doppler Study?

Seeing blood move

Doppler is ultrasound's special mode: it detects the movement of blood and turns it into color and waveform displays, showing where blood flows, how fast, and whether flow is blocked or reversed.

Common studies: leg Doppler for swelling, varicose veins or suspected clots (DVT); carotid Doppler for stroke risk; renal Doppler; and obstetric Doppler for fetal well-being in high-risk pregnancies.

It's completely painless and radiation-free — the same gel-and-probe experience as a regular ultrasound, taking 20–40 minutes depending on the study.

What is a Doppler study?
Doppler ultrasound measures blood flow in vessels — arteries, veins, and vessels of the neck, legs, kidneys and the baby (in pregnancy). It detects blockages, clots and flow problems without any radiation.
Who needs a Doppler study?
It is commonly ordered for leg swelling or pain, varicose veins, diabetes-related vascular checks, and in pregnancy for fetal well-being.
Where is Doppler available?
Doppler studies are available at Baddi, Nalagarh and Pinjore on our GE ultrasound machines.
What do I need to carry for my ultrasound scan?
Carry a valid prescription from your treating doctor (with signature and stamp), the Aadhaar card of the patient, and all previous investigations — earlier scan reports, images and CDs, and any relevant lab reports. For pregnancy-related scans the signed prescription and Aadhaar card are mandatory under the PCPNDT Act, and Form F is completed at the center. Previous reports and images help the radiologist compare with earlier studies and report more accurately.
