Combined 3D-tomography and 3D-power Doppler for vascular imaging of the liver
Vol 31, Issue 2, 2017
Abstract
his study aimed to investigate the role of three-dimensional color tomographic ultrasound (3D-CTU) and three-dimensional color power Doppler (3D-CPD) imaging in diagnostics of liver lesions. Based on 3D-anatomical sectional structures of the liver, we used 3D-CTU and 3D-CPD techniques to reconstitute 3D-images of lobes, segments, and intra-segmental blood vessels, and lesions of the liver. With the use of this technique, we were able to generate 3D vascular patterns of liver lobes, segments and tumor lesions, and their spatial relationship. The observed vascular patterns of intra- and peri-tumor (including surrounding lobes and segments) and the spatial relation can be used for accurate positioning of liver lesions
