Mapping of prostate cancer microvascular patterns using super-resolution ultrasound imaging
An algorithm was developed and tested in synthetic pre-clinical and clinical data. Maps of blood vessels were created using contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging. Specific presentations of vasculature at regions of prostate cancer have been identified.
