What is the difference between color ultrasound and B-ultrasound?

The rapid development of modern medical technology has led to the widespread application of many advanced technologies. For example, color ultrasound and B-ultrasound are relatively common medical testing instruments in life. This type of instrument has a very high status in modern medicine and can be used to examine almost all internal diseases. Color ultrasound is a new technology that appeared later than B-ultrasound. Let’s take a look at the difference between color ultrasound and B-ultrasound. Those who are interested can learn about the knowledge.

1. Color ultrasound is simply a high-definition black and white B-ultrasound plus a color Doppler. It has the advantages of two-dimensional ultrasound structural images and provides rich information on hemodynamics. It can be understood this way: the range of color ultrasound is larger than that of black and white B-ultrasound. Ordinary B-ultrasound is like a black and white photo; two-dimensional color ultrasound is not a color photo. The left picture generally shows the condition of the uterus in black and white, and the fetal image on the right will have red and blue to show blood vessel information; three-dimensional color ultrasound looks khaki; and four-dimensional B-ultrasound is a VCR taken by a camera.

2. B-ultrasound is a medical examination item that patients often encounter when they seek medical treatment. In clinical practice, color ultrasound is widely used in the diagnosis of cardiology, gastroenterology, urology, and obstetrics and gynecology diseases.

3. Generally speaking, color ultrasound has a greater impact on the fetus than black and white B-ultrasound. Doctors generally do not recommend color ultrasound for pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy. However, in the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women can do a black and white B-ultrasound to confirm the fetal pregnancy status, and only in the second trimester can a color ultrasound be done to rule out fetal abnormalities or record fetal activities.

B-ultrasound is a medical examination item that patients often encounter when they visit the doctor. In clinical practice, color ultrasound is widely used in the diagnosis of cardiology, gastroenterology, urology, and obstetrics and gynecology diseases.

Generally speaking, the radiation from color ultrasound is greater than that from black and white B-ultrasound. Doctors usually do not do color ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy. They will do black and white B-ultrasound to determine the fetal pregnancy status. Black and white B-ultrasound has less radiation to the fetus. Color Doppler Ultrasound will be done in the mid-term.
