摘要
Early recognition of joint inflammation will increase treatment efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Yet, conventional power Doppler (PD) ultrasound might not be sufficiently sensitive to detect minor inflammation. We investigated the sensitivity of high-frame rate Doppler, combined with singular value decomposition technique, to suppress tissue signals, for microvascular flow in a flow phantom setup and in a proof-of-principle study in healthy controls and in RA patients with different disease activities. In the flow phantom, minimal detectable flow velocity was a factor 3 lower with high-frame-rate PD than with conventional PD ultrasound. In the proof-of- principle study we detected a positive PD signal in all volunteers, diseased or healthy, with high-frame-rate PD ultrasound. We saw a gradual increase in PD signal in RA patients depending on disease activity. In conclusion, high-frame rate Doppler is more sensitive in detecting vascularisation than conventional PD ultrasound. (E-mail: h.vos@erasmusmc.nl) (C) 2017 The Authors.
