Abstract
A method is presented to estimate the flow vector from the Doppler frequency measured by a color Doppler device and to image a flow vector using an arrow line on a color display. A theoretical background is provided by the continuity equation. It is shown that experimental results in model flow and clinical application are effective to understand intracardiac blood flow dynamics.<>
