Color flow imaging is a method used in medical tests to see how blood flows through the vessels in the body. It uses sound waves that bounce off the blood cells moving through the arteries and veins. These sound waves are then converted into images that show the speed and direction of blood flow. The different colors on the images represent the speed and direction of blood flow, which helps doctors identify any abnormalities.
