New technology developed by German researchers allows existing traditional scanners to be used to generate high-resolution images of tumour vasculature by analysing ultrasound images.
Led by Dr Georg Schmitz from Ruhr-Universität Bochum and Dr Fabian Kiessling at the University Hospital Aachen, the new Motion Model Ultrasound Localization Microscopy is designed to easily differentiate tumour types.
In addition, the technique can be used to track the progress of chemotherapy treatment.
