Color-flow imaging of the cervical vasculature has several distinct advantages compared with conventional duplex scanning: it facilitates identification of the carotid artery, its bifurcation, branches, and other cervical vessels, especially the vertebral arteries; decreases the time required for longitudinal surveys; aids in the recognition of kinks, coils, and occluded vessels; evaluates flow simultaneously in large areas and multiple vessels; and focuses attention on sites of flow disturbance. Although many problems remain, color-flow imaging represents a powerful new tool for the diagnosis and physiologic assessment of extracranial cerebrovascular disease.
与传统的双功扫描相比，颈部血管的彩色血流成像有几个明显的优点：它有助于识别颈动脉、其分叉处、分支以及其他颈部血管，特别是椎动脉；减少纵向检查所需的时间；有助于识别血管的扭结、盘绕和闭塞；可同时评估大面积和多支血管内的血流；并将注意力集中在血流紊乱的部位。尽管仍存在许多问题，但彩色血流成像仍是诊断和评估颅外脑血管疾病生理状况的有力新工具。
