Directional Power Doppler (HD-Flow) is a Power Doppler mode incorporating the flow direction
(much like Color Doppler) into the displayed image. The focus of the settings for Directional
Power Doppler is for high spatial resolution and low artefact visibility, allowing vessels to be
seen with less blooming and finer detail.
HD-Flow Mode is available in 2D Mode, 3D Mode, M-Mode and Fetal Cardio.
