MICROVASCULAR IMAGING - AN ADVANCED DOPPLER TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Microvascular imaging (MVI) is an advanced Doppler ultrasound technique that enhances the visualization of microvessels without contrast agents. Unlike traditional Doppler methods that may struggle with slow or complex flows in small vessels, MVI employs intelligent algorithms to separate low-flow signals from tissue motion artifacts, preserving data and providing high-resolution images. This technology has broad clinical applications, including the characterization of liver lesions. By allowing clinicians to see minute vessels and low-velocity flows at high frame rates, MVI improves diagnostic accuracy and treatment monitoring. Its non-invasive nature and detailed vascular insights make it a valuable tool in modern medicine, showcasing the ongoing innovation in medical imaging and the potential to enhance patient outcomes through better diagnostic capabilities.
