Clinical Application of a New Ultrasound Technique: Microvascular Imaging of the Liver

Microvascular imaging is a new ultrasound technique aiming to image and quantify the microvasculature, comprising arterioles, venules, maybe even capillaries. The uses an advanced clutter filter eliminate artifacts caused by breathing movement retains low-speed blood signals in microvessels. great advantage of microvascular ultrasonography that it allows physician intuitively detect very slow microvessels, providing additional information about flow distribution target area without use contrast media. This technical advance will improve diagnosis various clinical situations. In this review, we focus on liver.
