Ultrasound microvascular imaging
AngioPLUS is a significant advancement in colour doppler imaging. Conventional doppler is limited in its ability to show microvascular slow flow. Angio- PLUS significantly improves colour sensitivity and spatial resolution, resulting in the next level of microvascular imaging to visualize flows that couldn’t be seen before. Soon available on Aixplorer, this new imaging tool will provide highly detailed real-time information to physicians, which is key in diagnosing cancerous lesions. Lesion microvascularization and vessel flow are important indicators of a potential malignancy in areas such as breast, lymph nodes, thyroid and liver. This technique is also valuable for musculoskeletal assessments to help identify low-grade tendon inflammation.
