(CPD) CPD is a type of color Doppler to visualize the presence of detectable blood flow. The flow information is based on the amplitude or strength of echoes received from moving cells and not on frequency shifts. Power Doppler is very sensitive to flowing blood but does not provide velocity or directional information.
CPD is less angle dependent than traditional color Doppler, but more sensitive to motion artifacts. Color power angio (CPA) provides better sensitivity to slow flow states.
The color maps for CPD are represented by a single continuous color (colour, Brit.). Because CPD does not provide directional information, no aliasing artifact occurs.

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.
