Power Doppler sonography of synovitis: assessment of therapeutic response--preliminary observations

J S Newman et al. Radiology. 1996 Feb.

Abstract

Power Doppler sonography was used in eight symptomatic knees in seven patients with arthritis before and after joint aspiration and intraarticular administration of steroids. A qualitative decrease in synovial perfusion was observed in all eight knees, and symptoms improved in seven of the eight cases. These preliminary data suggest a role for power Doppler sonography in assessment of serial changes in synovial inflammation.
