Blood Vessel and Flow Imaging

摘要

Blood flow and blood vessel imaging in ultrasound is a rapidly changing field. With the advent of new imaging techniques and contrast agents, ultrasound imaging has and will continue to undergo a revolution in its ability to diagnose and ultimately treat disease. In this lecture I plan to cover three topics that I think have or will continue to have a major impact on medical diagnoses: volume flow, arterial wall elasticity, and contrast agents.
