Color Doppler imaging in disorders of the orbit, retina, and optic nerve.
In summary, CDI is being increasingly used in both clinical and research settings to investigate vascular disorders of the orbit, retina, and optic nerve. It is essential for the clinical investigator to be critical and cautious when interpreting the color Doppler flow data, especially when assessing for quantitative orbital hemodynamic changes over serial examinations. Hopefully, application of this technology will continue to provide insight into the pathogenesis of additional ischemic ocular diseases.
