Ultrasound Basics For Dummies
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 9:37 am
Just received a copy of the actual ultrasound images taken 3 months post procedure. It requires Java to open up, but there is something wrong as I get an error message.
Luckily, I had previously installed a .dicom file reader and was able to open up nearly all of the images, convert them to .jpeg files onto my hard drive.
Question 1: I realize that the colors represent the direction of blood flow, but what direction is red? And what color represents the opposite direction?
Question 2: Does an admixture of opposing colors mean reflux at that site?
I spotted a valve flap, so my education from this site is progressing!
