Using ultrafast angio planewave ultrasensitive and conventional doppler imaging techniques to assess intramuscular blood perfusion in older adults
Ultrafast Angio-PL.U.S. and conventional ultrasound imaging techniques were comparable when used in conjunction with the VI for quantifying resting intramuscular blood flow. Angio-PL.U.S. appeared to be more sensitive in detecting bilateral disparities in upper extremity muscles. However, further research is needed to validate these findings and investigate the potential clinical utility of this technique for characterizing disease progression in populations with global or unilateral musculoskeletal tissue alterations.
