Outline of Final Research Achievements

The quantitative method of contrast ultrasound is currently equipped with time intensity curve analysis in clinical models. Peak intensity and area under the curve are calculated as parameters, and it is reported that these correlate with MVD. As a new method, we focus on a certain pixel, measure how the color of pixel changes in the time axis direction, divide one with a large degree of change and one with a small change by threshold.We developed a method to detect things as detected pixels of the contrast agent. Finally, an area ratio (enhancement area ratio) of the region where the contrast medium is detected is calculated with respect to the region of interest. In this study, we clarified that the enhancement area ratio correlates with the pathological MVD of invasive cancer.
