Echocardiography with Color Doppler Cost at Cleopatra Hospital

A Doppler echocardiogram measures the speed and direction of the blood flow within the heart. It screens the four valves for leaks and other abnormalities. By assigning a color to the direction of blood flow, (Color Flow Mapping), large areas of blood flow may be studied.

Color Doppler echocardiography utilizes pulsed-wave principles to create a two-dimensional sector display of all velocities within a given region of interest. A sector within a two-dimensional image is identified and pixels of color is displayed overlying the area of interrogation.
