Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Color flow duplex ultrasonography combines a two-dimensional ultrasound image and Doppler technology to create an ultrasound image that shows anatomy, as well as colors, according to the velocity, direction, and turbulence of the blood flow in that area. It is used to image the coronary arteries, carotid arteries, or arteries of the legs.
