Abstract
In some examples, color Doppler data may be separated into luminance data and chrominance data. The luminance data may be modified without modifying the chrominance data. In some examples, the luminance data may be adjusted based, at least in part, on power Doppler data. The adjusted luminance data may be recombined with the chrominance data to provide augmented color Doppler data. In some examples, the power Doppler data may be enhanced by filtering, for example, by applying a Frangi vesselness filter, prior to being used to adjust the luminance data of the color Doppler data.
