Summary and Future Directions Doppler color flow mapping has proven to be a most valuable addition in the armamentarium of noninvasive cardiovascular technology. For the first time real‐time two‐dimensional imaging of morphology with spontaneous display of flow is provided for the cardiologist. It enhances both qualitative and quantitive observations and is seen as an invaluable adjunct in the complete noninvasive examination. Continued application and investigation of quantitative and semiquantitative aspects of Doppler color flow mapping as well as investigations in the new areas of fetal and intraoperative color flow will continue to grow and add to our information of cardiac morphology and physiology and a more complete understanding of the dynamics of congential heart disease.
