AB  - Color flow imaging (CFI), being non-invasive, is commonly used in obstetrics to 
      study the fetal and placental circulations. The conventional CFI modes include 
      color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and power Doppler imaging (PDI). In recent 
      years, there is increasing use of new modes, including high-definition flow 
      imaging (HDFI), radiant flow, microvascular flow imaging (MVFI), and 
      three-/four-dimensional rendering in glass-body mode. Compared to CDFI, HDFI can 
      show a higher resolution and sensitivity and allow the detection of slower flows. 
      MVFI increases the sensitivity to fine or low-flow vessels while producing little 
      or no motion artifacts. Radiant flow shows the blood flow with a sense of depth 
      and reduces blood overflow. Glass-body mode, showing both gray-scale and 
      color-flow information, can demonstrate the heart-cycle-related flow events and 
      the vessel spatial relationship. In this review, the characteristics and 
      applications of the various CFI modes in obstetrics are discussed. In particular, 
      how these new technologies are integrated in detailed diagnostic and early 
      morphology scans is presented.
