摘要
The real time nature of ultrasound and functional methods such as Doppler ultrasound mean that ultrasound can claim to have always been a functional imaging method, but recent developments in quantitation, dramatic improvement in Doppler performance and now microbubbles have created many exciting new applications. These include methods for assessing the neovascularity of tumours, for following the effects of therapy and for predicting the likelihood of development of metastatic disease at the staging of primary tumours.
