Superb Microvascular Imaging Is Better Than Power Doppler Ultrasound in Diagnosing Subclinical Synovitis in Patients With Inflammatory Arthritis in Remission
SMI appears to be better than PDUS in detecting synovial signals in terms of joint number and vascularity scoring in monitoring disease activity in patients with inflammatory arthritis in clinical remission. Future research should focus on SMI and new ultrasound-based activity scores to identify and achieve true remission.
