Abstract
The feasibility of color power angiography ultrasound (CPA-US) measurement of breast tumor vasculature with and without microbubble contrast was tested by correlation with immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of microvessel density. The study involved women with palpable breast masses who underwent in vivo CPA-US before and after IV injection of microbubble contrast. Vessel counts were performed on 2D and 3D CPA-US images. Preliminary results suggest a correlation between 3D CPA-US and IHC vessel count for breast masses.
