Recent advances in ultrasound technology have resulted in the development of diagnostic instruments that combine cross sectional imaging with spectral and color flow Doppler analysis. These instruments have expanded the role of diagnostic ultrasonography in the assessment of disease states involving the extracranial carotid artery, the peripheral vascular system, and the major abdominal vessels. The current applications of color Doppler imaging (CDI) combined with conventional spectral Doppler are demonstrated.
