Color Imaging
Introduction
Color mode uses color to represent the mean ‘velocity and direction of either
blood (Color Flow) or tissue (Tissue Doppler). Different shades of colors in a
defined color spectrum represent different velocities and directions of blood or
tissue movement within the selected color area.
Color Flow is usually used to examine blood flow through valves or pathological
orifices in the heart, or through vessels of the body. Tissue Doppler is usually
used to examine tissue movement. Usually the color red represents flow or
movement towards the transducer and blue represents flow or movement away
from the transducer.
NOTE Color mode is not available in MMode imaging when using a linear transducer.
