No angle correction is required if flow is directly towards or away from the transducer (parallel to flow) The diagonal (long axis) of the box should be as parallel as possible to the vessel wall The color box angle can be adjusted so that you are at an optimal angle to blood flow Tilt the transducer (caudal and cranial) to optimize your angle of insonation (Try not to be parallel to the vessel with your imaging orientation - as in A) The scale will tell you what the PRF (aliasing limit) and the direction of flow is (you can invert the color scale) The color box is the region of interest where color flow will be depicted The size, position and angle of the color box can be adjusted. The color box is the region of interest in which color flow information is displayed. Flow velocities allow us to quantify the degree of a stenotic lesion and to determine if such a lesion is relevant or not.ĥ.5 What is the color Doppler Box and how should it be adjusted during carotid ultrasound? external carotid artery) and measure flow velocities (systolic and diastolic), which are then also used to calculate indices. Spectral Doppler allows characterization of the vessel (i.e. Color Doppler (together with power Doppler) is also helpful to depict plaques with low echogenicity (soft plaque), which might be missed with B mode imaging alone. Higher flow velocities are characterized by aliasing. No color is seen in the region of the plaque.ĥ.4 How is Doppler used in a longitudinal view?Ĭolor Doppler is used to demonstrate the direction of flow and to depict areas of higher flow velocities. Power Doppler us used to delineate the wall. Transverse view of the common carotid artery a small posterior soft plaque can be seen.
