摘要
Microvascular structure and hemodynamics are important indicators for the diagnosis and assessment of many diseases and pathologies.The structural and functional imaging of tissue microvasculature in vivo is a clinically significant objective for the development of many imaging modalities.Contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)is a popular clinical tool for characterizing tissue microvasculature,due to the moderate cost,wide accessibility,and absence of ionizing radiation of ultrasound.
