Pilot Study to Evaluate the Association Between Superb Microvascular Imaging (<scp>SMI</scp>) and Histologic Markers of Angiogenesis in Patients With Invasive Ductal Carcinoma
In this pilot study, tumors with higher neo-angiogenic activity based on histological markers correlate with increased vascular index, complex vessel morphology, penetrating vessels, and central vascularity on SMI. Larger studies are needed to assess the diagnostic accuracy and utility of risk stratification of patients.
