doppler flow studies

How Are Doppler Flow Studies Performed?

Doppler flow studies are typically performed using a specialized ultrasound machine equipped with Doppler capabilities. The procedure involves:
1. Patient Preparation: The neonate is positioned comfortably, and a water-based gel is applied to the area being examined to ensure good contact.
2. Ultrasound Probe: A trained technician or physician uses an ultrasound probe to emit sound waves and capture their reflections from blood cells.
3. Data Analysis: The Doppler signals are analyzed to measure blood flow velocity, resistance, and other parameters. These measurements help assess the health of various blood vessels and organs.
