Doppler: A regular ultrasound shows shades of black and white to identify kidney sizes and structures. A doppler senses flow to (red) and from (blue) the probe. Doppler ultrasound is used to rule out renal artery stenosis and venous obstruction in the kidneys.

Blood Flow: The red and blue dots are Doppler signal, they indicate blood flow on a renal ultrasound. The kidneys are very vascular organs since they filter blood and blood flow is a normal finding. The speed of the blood flow in the renal arteries is sometimes measures to establish if a narrowing of the artery might be a reason for hypertension. Some mass lesions demonstrate abnormal blood flow.
