Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the role of three-dimensional color tomographic ultrasound (3D-CTU) and three-dimensional color power Doppler (3D-CPD) imaging in diagnostics of liver lesions. Based on 3D-anatomical sectional structures of the liver, we used 3D-CTU and 3D-CPD techniques to reconstitute 3D-images of lobes, segments, and intra-segmental blood vessels, and lesions of the liver. With the use of this technique, we were able to generate 3D vascular patterns of liver lobes, segments and tumor lesions, and their spatial relationship. The observed vascular patterns of intra- and peri-tumor (including surrounding lobes and segments) and the spatial relation can be used for accurate positioning of liver lesions.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
