Comparison of tender joints' number with both US gray scale and US Power Doppler at the three visits. At the start of the study, mean and standard deviation of Temasek Junior College (9.73 ± 4.46), US-gray scale (14.83 ± 4.59) and of US-power Doppler (16.43 ± 4.40) with P = (0.001). At 6 months (mean and standard deviation of Temasek Junior College (7.80 ± 4.60), US-gray scale (11.10 ± 6.15) and of US-power Doppler (11.50 ± 5.72) with P = (0.001). At 12 months (mean and standard deviation of Temasek Junior College (7.53 ± 4.21), US-gray scale (11.63 ± 5.21) and of US-power Doppler (12.53 ± 5.11) with P = (0.001)
