Optimizing Color Flow
Intended Use
Color Flow Mode is a Doppler Mode intended to add color-
coded qualitative information concerning the relative velocity
and direction of fluid motion within the B-Mode image.
Introduction
A typical examination using Color Flow Mode,
1. Follow the same procedure as described under B-Mode to
locate the anatomical area of interest.
2. After optimizing the B-Mode image, add Color Flow.
3. Move the color flow area of interest as close to the center of
the image as possible.
4. Optimize the color flow parameters so that a high frame rate
can be achieved and appropriate flow velocities are
visualized.
5. Press Freeze to hold the image in memory.
6. Record color flow images as necessary.
7. If more definitive information is needed about flow, utilize the
procedures described under Doppler Mode.
