SUMARY A noninvasive method for real time blood-flow imaging using ultrasound has long
been required in the fields of cardiology, and cardiovascular surgery. Recently, we …

An improved perception of the magnitude and dynamics of intracardiac flow disturbances
has been made possible by the advent of 3-dimensional (3-D) color Doppler, a new …

Doppler colour flow mapping provides a non-invasive method for studying patterns of blood
