A Doppler image can be taken of any bodily organ or even of an unborn baby if needed. The color flow image means that instead of being in black and white the image will show up in color.
The newest addition to this test is the addition of color. Adding color to the image shows the direction and rate of blood flow more clearly.
Echocardiography, transthoracic, real-time with image documentation (2D), includes M-mode recording, when performed, complete, with spectral Doppler echocardiography, and with color flow Doppler echocardiography.

Color enhancement is particularly useful in Doppler imaging, where shades of red signify flow away from the transducer and shades of blue signify flow toward it.

The yellow is the color flow doppler representing the velocity and direction of blood flow in the heart. Usually the brighter colors represent higher velocities of blood flow.

Doppler ultrasonography uses what is called the Doppler effect to measure the rate and direction of blood flow in the vessels.
Doppler does not have a color. The Doppler is like an ambulance, when it gets close to you it is a higher pitch, and when it gets farther away from you it is a lower pitch. the Doppler is the change in pitch or wave frequency due to a moving wave source.
By showing an image of the blood circulation in the gland, this study can assess some ambiguous masses in greater detail, to further refine diagnosis
Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography is a noninvasive method of analyzing blood flow in the brain.
It's the measure of flow.
