From: Three-dimensional Doppler ultrasound findings in healthy wrist and finger tendon sheaths - can feeding vessels lead to misinterpretation in Doppler-detected tenosynovitis?

*Compartment 1 (a, b). a Doppler settings were according to published recommendations with optimal Doppler sensitivity. As a consequence of increased sensitivity more vessels were detected but with reverberation artefact (thick arrow) and blooming artefact (the colour immediately outside the white ring) as an unavoidable consequence. b Doppler gain was lowered to avoid blooming. This resulted in loss of Doppler sensitivity and only a single vessel was detected. The outline of this vessel has been traced and the trace is shown on panel a to illustrate the blooming
