| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we developed a three dimensional (3D) imaging device of thin blood vessels which can convert into 3D image based on blood flow velocity. Using this device, we succeeded in visualizing the network of new blood vessels caused by carcinogenesis.It was confirmed that a vascular network was formed to help cancer tumor growth by investigating changes in blood vessel running and blood flow velocity accompanying the growth of cancer tumor. Existing laser Doppler flowmeter could only measure blood flow at extremely shallow position such as subcutaneous peripheral blood vessels.In this device, possible to measure more deeper position, and breast cancer of experimental mice can be measured.
