Kevin, B-color is simply adding a color of your choice to the 2-D image which replaces the white in the image. Some people find that it makes borders easier to...
Kevin, B Color allows you to encode tissue densities in color rather than gray scale. This can be useful since the human eye can appreciate many more colors...
I was told once by a physician that the human eye can see color more clearly than greyscale due to the number of rods vs cones in the eye. Maybe he just liked...
there must be a way of testing this. And is it different with CRT as opposed the LCD monitors (as LCD monitors have a higher acutance)? Chris Brown Shetland,...

B - color can sometimes be used when it is hard to make out the endocardium. It will not always make it easier to see it but some one who your having a...
We can differentiate more shades of color than gray scale with the human eye so B color is definitly a useful tool in my opinion. Also called Chroma on some...
You have to balance the eye's "ability to see more shade of color than gray scale" to the computer degradation/alteration that occurs with processing switch...

I have found that If the patient is in sinus rhythm, the most accurate way is to use PW Doppler. Position your sample volume at the level of the aortic valve...
