VASCULAR DENSITY IMAGING
VASCULAR DENSITY APPROXIMATES TUMOR
AGGRESSION AND DECREASED VESSEL
NUMBERS CORRESPOND TO CLINICAL
IMPROVEMENT
3-D DOPPLER HISTOGRAM ANALYSIS OF THE
VESSEL NUMBER/CC PROVIDES A COMPUTER
GENERATED % OF TUMOR
VESSELS PER VOLUME ANALYSED
LOW <9% MEDIUM 10-20% HIGH> 21-30%
VERY HIGH > 30% USUALLY GLEASON 8-10

GLEASON 4+5=9
3-D PDS DCE MRI
TUMOR VOLUME = 2 CC NO ECE IDENTIFIED

VASCULAR DENSITY GLEAS0N 9
