title: Neonatal brain: color Doppler imaging. Part I. Technique and vascular anatomy.
abstract: Color Doppler imaging (CDI) can demonstrate the relative direction and velocity of blood flow in color, superimposed on a conventional gray-scale ultrasound image that depicts stationary tissue. Twenty-five infants were studied with portable CDI in the coronal, sagittal, and axial planes. Bilateral antegrade flow was noted in the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries in all patients. Multiplanar CDI can image flow in the circle of Willis and its tributaries and branches.
