Acoustic Angiography: A New Imaging Modality for Assessing Microvasculature Architecture
Figure 5
(a) An overlay of the microvasculature within a tumor provided by acoustic angiography (red) onto a tissue-only image provided by high frequency b-mode (grayscale). This figure was created using 3D slicer (National Institutes of Health) with a 3D rendering of the acoustic angiography data simultaneously displayed with a grayscale orthoslice of the b-mode data. Displaying data in this fashion illustrates microvessel and tissue morphologies, as well as vascular-tissue integration. Scale bar = 0.5 cm. (b) A cartoon illustrates the approximate location of this 3D image volume.
