CONT

Il correspond à un traitement particulier du signal Doppler. Les flux sanguins apparaissent au sein de l'image cardiaque selon des couleurs différentes. Les flux dirigés vers le capteur sont codés en rouge, les flux s'éloignant en bleu et les flux turbulents en une mosaïque de couleurs (vert, bleu et rouge). Le Doppler couleur apporte donc pour l'opérateur des informations en temps réel sur les flux intracardiaques.
