What is Intracavitary Color Doppler Ultrasound?

Intracavitary color Doppler ultrasound is actually a type of examination method, mainly used to understand the health status of various organs and viscera in the body. It uses a Doppler probe to insert into the body through the vagina, esophagus, or intestine to explore nearby organs. Intracavitary color Doppler ultrasound has more advantages, providing clearer images that help with accurate diagnosis.

Intracavitary color Doppler ultrasound has various entry methods. One is esophageal entry, which requires strict sterilization to insert the ultrasound probe from the mouth into the esophagus behind the chest to observe the health status inside the esophagus. It can also observe the impact on the heart, understand whether there are any lesions in the heart, and observe the health status of the stomach.

Another is vaginal color Doppler ultrasound, which is a boon for many women. It can better and more accurately understand reproductive health. The ultrasound probe is inserted into the vagina for examination, without the need to hold urine. It is convenient and simple, and can directly understand the health status of the endometrium, as well as whether there are masses in the appendage area or whether it is an ectopic pregnancy.

There is also rectal color Doppler ultrasound, especially for some elderly individuals, to examine the prostate and seminal vesicles. This type of ultrasound examination is more convenient and simple because the images displayed are clear and there is no need to hold urine.
