Department of Biomedical Engineering and Physics, University of Vienna, Waehringer Guertel 18-20, A-1090 Vienna, Austria.

The purpose of this review is to help in understanding the principles of a new ultrasound Doppler technique called amplitude-coded colour Doppler (power) mode. All pertinent information available in the literature on the physical principles of this technique has been revised in order to give a detailed survey. The main components and the key characteristics of this mode are discussed together with illustrative examples. In addition, work-in-progress developments and other future aspects of US imaging in combination with this technique are discussed.

D001783	Blood Flow Velocity	A value equal to the total volume flow divided by the cross-sectional area of the vascular bed.	Blood Flow Velocities,Flow Velocities, Blood,Flow Velocity, Blood,Velocities, Blood Flow,Velocity, Blood Flow
D001808	Blood Vessels	Any of the tubular vessels conveying the blood (arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins).	Blood Vessel,Vessel, Blood,Vessels, Blood
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000465	Algorithms	A procedure consisting of a sequence of algebraic formulas and/or logical steps to calculate or determine a given task.	Algorithm
D012680	Sensitivity and Specificity	Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)	Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
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.
