  1. AP mode showed heightened sensitivity in detecting differences in blood flow levels, particularly at more severe stages. *: p < 0.05, indicating statistically significant differences in CDFI, PDI, and AP modes compared to the mild group. #: p < 0.05, indicating statistically significant differences in AP mode only. CDFI: Color Doppler Flow Imaging; PDI: Power Doppler Imaging.
