Main Results:

  • PD demonstrates superior flow sensitivity and vascular delineation.
  • PD is effective in identifying ischemia, inflammatory hyperemia, and tumor vascularity.
  • PD facilitates assessment of vascular changes during interval therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Power Doppler sonography is a valuable tool for enhanced vascular imaging.
  • PD improves the documentation and characterization of blood flow in various clinical scenarios.
  • Further development of PD holds promise for advancing diagnostic ultrasound.
