Tissue Block Ultrasound and Ovarian Cancer— A Pictorial Presentation of Findings

Abstract

Abstract Malignancy has classically been described, as having vessels “seemingly deployed without purpose.” In other words, vascularity that does not have tree like in branching with orderly distal tapering is abnormal. 3D imaging can create a virtual cast of vessels, to be “cut into” and “manipulated” on a computer monitor. This can be thought of as a most valuable “Tissue Block” of data, unlike any other imaging test, and I believe, holds the key to a more accurate diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
