This study investigates multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS) imaging to examine and evaluate both cancerous and non-cancerous tissue. mpUS combines various ultrasound methods to provide detailed information about tissue.
The study focuses on comparing mpUS imaging with standard ultrasound to see which provides better assessment of tissue. It evaluates the ability of mpUS to show blood vessels, blood flow, and detailed tissue structures.
