Abstract
Today, clinicians use ultrasound, similar to the use of a stethoscope ten years ago. We will soon see ultrasound probes in the pockets of every medical student. Nowadays, ultrasound probes are used in the examination of patients, and ultrasound is no longer considered a para-clinical procedure, and during patient examinations, we also perform ultrasounds for our patients in order to limit differential diagnosis. As a result of these examinations and applying clinical and ultrasound findings, the desired treatment is determined.
In ultrasound, one challenge that always arises is the Doppler field and vascular flow. Recent articles have emphasized the importance of using ultrasound for clinicians. There is a general lack of enthusiasm among clinicians when the term Doppler is mentioned. Due to this, I considered it necessary to write an educational article in an easy-to-understand manner and at the same time practical in this field for the medical community, especially clinicians. It is my goal to provide the information in a simple and practical manner.
