Correlation between power Doppler ultrasonography and clinical severity in Achilles tendinopathy

Twenty-five patients with chronic Achilles tendinopathy were clinically and ultrasonographically evaluated. A positive correlation existed between power Doppler ultrasonography (PDU) and tendon thickness (r=0.63, p
