Echo-Doppler and Color Flow Doppler examinations, are able to combine the advantages offered by echography with those had with the Doppler exam. In the presence of tumours of the carotid body, these exams can furnish morphological data with regard to tumor size, its precise location and its rapport with contiguous organ as well as data regarding blood flow in the mass itself. The color Flow Doppler exam, in particular, can reveal the echographic aspect and the flow toward and away from the sonde all on the same image. This enables a precise diagnosis of a tumor of the carotid body to be reached even without angiography. The personal experience here reported involves ten cases observed during the last seven years.

D018608	Ultrasonography, Doppler	Ultrasonography applying the Doppler effect, with frequency-shifted ultrasound reflections produced by moving targets (usually red blood cells) in the bloodstream along the ultrasound axis in direct proportion to the velocity of movement of the targets, to determine both direction and velocity of blood flow.

D018615	Ultrasonography, Doppler, Color	Ultrasonography applying the Doppler effect, with the superposition of flow information as colors on a gray scale in a real-time image. This type of ultrasonography is well-suited to identifying the location of high-velocity flow (such as in a stenosis) or of mapping the extent of flow in a certain region.
