View larger version (125K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1D. —Coronal power Doppler sonograms of same piglet hip. M = femoral metaphysis. Enhanced power Doppler image obtained during forced hyperabduction shows qualitative decrease in power Doppler signal in cartilaginous femoral head (arrowheads).

View larger version (15K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2A. —Bar graphs represent mean pixel intensity in neutral position, forced hyperabduction, and release back to neutral position. Graph shows that changes in mean pixel intensity on unenhanced power Doppler sonograms are not significantly different in three hip positions (p = 0.28).

View larger version (15K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2B. —Bar graphs represent mean pixel intensity in neutral position, forced hyperabduction, and release back to neutral position. Graph shows that mean pixel intensity on enhanced power Doppler sonograms is significantly lower during forced hyperabduction compared with neutral position (p < 0.001).
