Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is responsible for a large proportion of cancer deaths
worldwide. HCC is frequently diagnosed after the development of clinical deterioration at …

Purpose To explore whether superb microvascular imaging (SMI) technology could be
helpful for the evaluation of hepatic tumors. Materials and methods Our institutional review …

(1). This is related in a complex way to the number of scatterers in the blood, with the
complexity due to the fact that such factors as hematocrit level, blood flow velocity, and shear …

OBJECTIVE. We conducted a prospective study to compare sonography, color Doppler
sonography, and contrast-enhanced sonography for the detection and characterization of …

Purpose We compared the abilities of power and conventional color Doppler sonography to
depict the vascularity of solid breast lesions and evaluated the usefulness of power Doppler …

Objective. Color Doppler imaging (CD) has had a great impact on ultrasonography (US).
This technique depicts local flow by encoding an estimate of the mean Doppler frequency …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) relies strongly on the
detection of hypervascularity in the arterial phase and, in this setting, spiral computed …

The diagnosis of liver metastasis relies on imaging. The sensitivity of ultrasound, CT and
magnetic resonance techniques for detecting liver metastases can only be assessed in …

Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is among the latest doppler ultrasound methods. It uses
an advanced clutter filter to eliminate artifacts caused by breathing, movement and retains …

Duplex ultrasound (DU) is recognised as a valuable tool for the assessment of blood flow in
many vascular territories. The application of this technique to the superior mesenteric artery …
