| Description | PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The evaluation of efficiency of power Doppler sonography in the diagnosis of lateral humeral enthesopathy, role of correct assessment of Doppler sonographic images with the method of quantitative analysis, assessment of statistical differences between a group of patients with lateral humeral enthesopathy and a control group of healthy subjects and assessment of the diagnostic power of this test. In addition, consideration of the relevance of each area of the lateral compartment for assessment and diagnosis making in lateral humeral enthesopathy. CONCLUSIONS Power Doppler sonography is a method convenient to confirm or exclude the diagnosis of lateral humeral enthesopathy. Our results showed its statistical significance and diagnostic power (sensitivity and specificity). In the future, the quantitative image analysis could become a valuable adjunct method of evaluation not only for power Doppler images. |
