Acoustic Angiography: A New Imaging Modality for Assessing Microvasculature Architecture
Figure 8
A comparison between the CT and ultrasound images acquired of the same kidney. The slight anatomical warping due to ultrasound probe contact with tissue resulted in a lack of direct one-to-one visual correspondence between the two 3D images, though the same anatomy is contained within each image. (a) Maximum intensity projections of image data. The spleen is visible in each of these images to the right of kidney (indicated with an “S”). (b) En face cuts through the 3D image. (c) Line profiles (dashed yellow lines) across two corresponding vessels near the spleen (dashed yellow lines) suggest similar feature sensitivity.
