Abstract:
Colour velocity imaging is a new technique in the field of colour-coded sonographic flow measurement. It measures blood flow directly by analysing ultrasound pulses' running time and has advantages over colour Doppler systems. Colour velocity imaging's colour code detects changes in arterial blood flow. Therefore it can be used in the diagnosis of kidney allografts in the same way as duplex ultrasound. Using the presented methods of colour interpretation, sensitivity of 66.6-100% and specificity of 72.7-91.7% are attained. Thus colour velocity imaging combines the attributes of duplex ultrasound and colour Doppler ultrasound.
