3D power Doppler of a woman with hyperthyroidism. Note the thickened vascular structures. We interpret this characteristic as an indirect sign or coenzyme Q10 deficiency. In two patients with thyroiditis the implementation of supplementation did not lead to any improvement of thyroid morphology. Both patients presented an image with hyperechogenic structures on the hypoechogenic thyroid (10A) as well as hyperperfusion (10B).
