  1. aStatistical analysis revealed significant differences in blood flow levels, indicating that the Angio planewave ultrasensitive imaging (AP) mode is a more effective modality for monitoring vascular changes in keloids. These findings emphasize the importance of selecting the appropriate detection mode.
