- power Doppler
- Power Doppler is a newer technique that is more sensitive at detecting blood flow than color Doppler. Power Doppler is able to obtain images that are difficult or impossible to obtain using standard color Doppler and to provide greater detail of blood flow, especially in vessels that are located inside organs.
Although power Doppler may be more sensitive than color Doppler for detection and demonstration of blood flow, power Doppler provides no information about the direction of flow. Color and spectral Doppler both reveal the direction of blood flow which can be valuable information.
