Value of superb microvascular imaging ultrasonography in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome: Compared with color Doppler and power Doppler
TLDR
Comprehensive consideration of SMI and CSA, CSA≥10.5 mm2, and/or SMI score ≥2 has the highest accuracy, significantly higher than that of CSA combination with CDUS or PDUS (68% and 69%, respectively, P <.05).About:

Clinical Applications of Superb Microvascular Imaging in the Liver, Breast, Thyroid, Skeletal Muscle, and Carotid Plaques.
TL;DR: Although SMI has some limitations, such as a lack of clinical standards, it can add information to conventional ultrasound examinations and may become a noninvasive alternative to invasive diagnostic procedures for many clinical conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microvascular imaging of the skin
TL;DR: In this review article, a number of imaging techniques are summarized that have been utilized to investigate the microvasculature of skin, along with their advantages, disadvantages and future perspectives in preclinical and clinical settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Intraplaque Neovascularization Using Superb Microvascular Imaging and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that SMI, as a simpler, safer, and noninvasive technique, can facilitate the visualization of carotid artery IPN without the use of a contrast agent, as well as in the clinical evaluation of plaque instability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superb Microvascular Imaging of the Median Nerve in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: An Electrodiagnostic and Ultrasonographic Study.
TL;DR: To evaluate intraneural blood flow of the median nerve using superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and power Doppler ultrasonography (PDUS) and to examine their correlation with electroneuromyography in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Carpal tunnel syndrome: diagnosis with high-resolution sonography.
TL;DR: The receiver-operating-characteristic analysis showed that the discrimination between wrists in normal subjects and in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome achieved with each of the three diagnostic criteria was not significantly different.

TL;DR: Improved accuracy in the diagnosis of CTS is revealed with the Delta CSA compared with the accuracy of the diagnosis determined with the CSAc, which is smaller than that in patients and in asymptomatic wrists.

Carpal tunnel syndrome: diagnostic usefulness of sonography.
TL;DR: Sonography is comparable to electrodiagnostic study in diagnosis of CTS and should be considered as initial test of choice for patients suspected of having CTS.
