Color and Power Doppler Mode
Color Doppler Mode uses the principles of PW Doppler Mode to produce an image of a blood vessel. In this
mode, the system converts the doppler sounds into colors that are overlaid on the image of the blood
vessel, which represent the relative velocity and direction of blood flow.
This mode is useful for blood flow applications such as:
Distinguishing non-vascular tissue structures from vascular tissue structures.
l
Identifying vascular structures that can be more difficult to identify in other ultrasound modes.
l
Power Doppler Mode provides tools to visualize and measure flow dynamics. This imaging mode displays
the intensity of the returning Doppler signal and assigns a color range to the energy generated by moving
blood flow.
This is useful f or applications such as detecting vascularity in and around orthotopic and s ubcutaneous
tumors and producing a measure of relative quantification.
Color Doppler Mode and Power Doppler Mode share many interface features and controls.
Color and Power Doppler Image Display
In Color Doppler Mode and Power Doppler Mode, the image display shows several items in addition to the
standard B-Mode interface.
