Longitudinal 3-D Visualization of Microvascular Disruption and Perfusion Changes in Mice During the Evolution of Glioblastoma Using Super-Resolution Ultrasound
Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer with a very poor prognosis in which less than 6% of patients survive more than five-year post-diagnosis. The outcome of this disease for many patients may be improved by early detection. This could provide clinicians with the information needed to take earl...

| Zusammenfassung: | Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer with a very poor prognosis in which less than 6% of patients survive more than five-year post-diagnosis. The outcome of this disease for many patients may be improved by early detection. This could provide clinicians with the information needed to take early action for treatment. In this work, we present the utilization of a non-invasive, fully volumetric ultrasonic imaging method to assess microvascular change during the evolution of glioblastoma in mice. Volumetric ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) was used to observe statistically significant ( ) reduction in the appearance of functional vasculature over the course of three weeks. We also demonstrate evidence suggesting the reduction of vascular flow for vessels peripheral to the tumor. With an 82.5% consistency rate in acquiring high-quality vascular images, we demonstrate the possibility of volumetric ULM as a longitudinal method for microvascular characterization of neurological disease |
