This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

The present widespread use of Doppler colour imaging in ultrasonic clinics has occurred extraordinarily rapidly. As Dr Merritt tells us, less than 10 years has elapsed since the earliest systems were emerging as prototypes into American hospitals, and barely 5 years since colour Doppler was added to commercial duplex scanners. Now, a large proportion of District Hospitals have at least one colour Doppler ultrasound scanner, and many have several as the value of imaging functional blood flow becomes clearer.
