Three-dimensional power Doppler sonography of tumor vascularity

Abstract

The value of routine clinical examination was assessed through 3D power Doppler sonography of intratumoral blood flow. The 3D images were reconstructed and were viewed multidirectionally. The entire vasculature of the tumor was appreciated more easily than from cross-sectional 2D images. The 3D images of intratumoral blood flows corresponded to the tumor vessels that could be visualized by angiography at the early arterial stage.
