Microvascular imaging is an advanced Doppler ultrasound technique that detects slow flow in microvessels by suppressing clutter signal and motion-related artifacts. The technique has been applied in several conditions to assess organ perfusion and lesion characteristics. In this pictorial review, we aim to describe current knowledge of the technique, particularly its diagnostic utility in the infant brain, and expand on the unexplored but promising clinical applications of microvascular imaging in the brain with case illustrations.
