Ultrasound at the microbubble resonance frequency can cause bubble rupture at high acoustic power (mechanical index (MI) greater than 0.5). The result is a transient high-amplitude, broadband signal containing all frequencies, not only the harmonics. It will create a strong signal in B-mode or a short-lasting multicolored, mosaic-like effect in color Doppler sonography. Several terms for this typical signal have been used, e.g. induced or stimulated acoustic emission, loss of correlation imaging and sono-scintigraphy. • ![]() Ultrasound Systems:

(CFI) Color flow imaging is based on pulsed ultrasound Doppler technology. With this technique multiple sample volumes among multiple planes are detected and a color map for direction and velocity flow data is displayed. Common mapping formats are BART (Blue Away, Red Towards) or RABT (Red Away, Blue Towards). Enhanced or variance flow maps show saturations and intensities that indicate higher velocities and turbulence or acceleration. Some maps utilize a third color (green) to indicate accelerating velocities and turbulence. Color flow Doppler imaging is not as precise as conventional Doppler and is best used to scan a larger area and then use other Doppler modes to obtain more precise data. See also Color Amplitude Imaging, Color Priority, and Color Saturation. •
In a color map, colors are allocated to Doppler shift frequencies corresponding to flow. Color (colour, Brit.) maps may also display Doppler amplitude, signal power, variance, or the gray levels of the B-mode image. See also Color Amplitude Imaging, Color Priority, and Color Saturation. •
The color priority determines which signal of B-mode and Doppler, detected from the same location will be displayed in a given pixel. Low color priorities will allow solid tissue to conceal Doppler shifts at the same location; a high priority ensures that color will overwrite the gray scale image. Also called color-echo write priority or angio write priority. See also Directional Indicators. Result Pages : |
