Book an appointment for Colour Doppler – Head scan at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL & NABH-certified diagnostic centre with cutting-edge facilities for advanced Radiology and Pathology Services. We offer well-advanced Colour Doppler ultrasound to help assess blood flow in the blood vessels of the head to ensure valuable information can be provided for diagnosis and management of various head-related neurosurgery and blood flow (vascular) diseases. Our highly trained doctors of radiology are adept at using Doppler ultrasound technology, which tests cerebral circulation without harm, radiation, or error.

About Colour Doppler – Head

A Colour Doppler – Head scan is a special kind of ultrasound examination that only looks at blood flow in the arteries and veins that serve the brain and skull. The exam is useful to find any problems with blood flow through the brain, whether blood vessels are narrowed or blocked, or flow patterns are abnormal.

At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, we use the most modern ultrasound machines to obtain excellent Doppler measurements, which allow us to give our patients accurate information in the face of neurological symptoms or suspected vascular problems.

What is a Colour Doppler – Head Scan?

A Colour Doppler – Head scan is an ultrasound technique that uses the Doppler effect principle, which allows the visualization of blood vessels and the direction and speed of the blood flow running through them.

In infants, such an examination is often done via a fontanelle (soft spot) to assess the circulation in the intracranial cavity. Vessels in the adult female or male may be examined with Doppler, depending on access, clinical indication, and ultrasound window, for extracranial and intracranial vessels. The process is non-invasive, non-damaging, and does not involve the injection of radiation or contrast dyes.

Common Reasons for a Colour Doppler – Head Scan

• Evaluation of cerebral blood circulation
• Investigation of dizziness or recurrent headaches
• Assessment of suspected vascular abnormalities
• Monitoring after stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
• Evaluation of congenital vascular abnormalities in infants
• Assessment of cerebral blood flow in neurological disorders
• Follow-up after vascular treatment or surgery
• Investigation of reduced blood flow to the brain
• Monitoring patients with known cerebrovascular disease
• Evaluation of neonatal brain circulation

Conditions Evaluated

Cerebrovascular Disease

Assesses blood flow abnormalities that may increase the risk of stroke or other neurological conditions.

Arterial Narrowing (Stenosis)

Detects narrowing of blood vessels that may reduce blood supply to the brain.

Cerebral Blood Flow Abnormalities

Evaluates abnormal circulation that may contribute to neurological symptoms.

Congenital Vascular Abnormalities

Helps identify vascular malformations in infants and children.

Post-Stroke Monitoring

Assesses blood flow following stroke treatment or vascular intervention.

Who Should Consider this Scan?

Your doctor may recommend a Colour Doppler – Head scan if you:

• Experience persistent headaches or dizziness
