Abstract
Power Doppler (PD) is used widely in musculoskeletal ultrasound, especially in the assessment of structures for evidence of inflammation and in evaluating soft tissue neoplasms. We reinforce and delineate the three cardinal principles of optimising PD assessment in order to avoid false positive or false negative results; namely (1) Optimal gain settings (2) Adequate transducer pressure, and (3) Proper patient/anatomical structure-of-interest positioning with complete tissue relaxation.Entities:
