Caution advised when interpreting 3D power Doppler indices in small vessels; leaves open setting-specific validation before research or clinical use.
3D power Doppler ultrasound considerably overestimates moving blood volume in small vessels, which is highly dependent on instrument settings and spatial resolution.
Schulten‐Wijman et al. (2008) studied this question.
