In the simplest terms, they represent direction of blood flow relative to the ultrasound transducer/probe the sonographer is holding against your skin. Red areas represent blood flow towards the transducer, and blue areas represent blood flow away from the transducer. They are only abnormal if they not flowing in the direction they are supposed to be flowing in.
