title: [Blood flow pattern in pulmonary atelectasis with color Doppler flow imaging].
abstract: Blood flow pattern in the lesion was evaluated in 4 patients with pulmonary atelectasis by color Doppler flow imaging synchronized electrocardiography. The pulsatile signal and triphasic signal were detected, whereas the continuous signal was not. It seemed that in pulmonary atelectasis the pulsatile signal was the blood flow signal in the pulmonary artery and the triphasic signal was the blood flow signal in the pulmonary vein.
