1. An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system which produces spectral Doppler displays of flow for anatomical locations selected from a colorflow image, the system comprising:

  • an ultrasonic transducer array probe which transmits beams and receives echo signals from a region of a subject where flow is present;

    a beamformer which controls the directions in which beams are transmitted by the probe;

    a Doppler processor responsive to the echo signals to produce Doppler signals;

    a Doppler image processor, responsive to the Doppler signals to produce Doppler images;

    a display on which Doppler images are displayed; and

    a color box position and steering angle processor, responsive to the Doppler signals to automatically determine a position of a color box over the Doppler images and orient a steering angle of the color box.
