Introduction

Doppler color flow imaging is a method for noninvasively imaging blood flow through the heart by displaying flow data on the two-dimensional echocardiographic image. This capability has generated great excitement about the use of the technique for identifying valvular, congenital, and other forms of heart disease, as the color flow image imparts spatial information to the Doppler data. To inexperienced Doppler users, the color flow display makes the Doppler data more readily understandable because of the avoidance of complex spectral velocity displays.
