Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Doppler ultrasonography is currently the main non-invasive method which is used to characterize vascularity of breast neoplasms. Howerever,it is limited in demonostrating microvascularities. Contrast-enhanced Doppler and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI are the two new imaging techniques which are especially useful in assessing intratumorous vascularity and furthermore can improve the detection of the early breast cancer.The purpose of this paper is to review the applications of these techniques in estimation of vascularity of breast neoplasms.
