Microvascular flow imaging for detection of endometrial malignancy: comparison with color Doppler imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Comprehensive sonographic evaluation of pre- and postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding is essential for accurate diagnosis and the optimization of curative outcomes for endometrial malignancy. Microvascular flow imaging (MVFI), a state-of-the-art Doppler technique, enables high-resolution, noninvasive mapping of tumor-specific neovascularity that critically drives the initiation, growth, and progression of endometrial malignancy. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of MVFI with that of conventional color Doppler imaging (CDI) for detecting endometrial malignancy using histopathology as the reference standard.

Methods

From June 2023 to October 2024, 283 females with abnormal uterine bleeding over the age of 40 years were enrolled in
