Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is an innovative Doppler technique for vascular examination. It uses an intelligent algorithm that efficiently separates low-speed flow signals from motion artifacts so that it can assess microvessels and the vessel distribution in detail. This article reviews the clinical applications of SMI in the disorders of superficial tissues and organs including thyroid nodules, breast tumors and lymph node diseases etc. More information of diseases that are closely associated with angiogenesis can be shown by SMI than other noninvasive examinations. Although some limitations exist, this safe and convenient technique is becoming acceptable and would play a more important role in disease diagnosis and therapeutic responses evaluation.

D016606 Thyroid Nodule A small circumscribed mass in the THYROID GLAND that can be of neoplastic growth or non-neoplastic abnormality. It lacks a well-defined capsule or glandular architecture. Thyroid nodules are often benign but can be malignant. The growth of nodules can lead to a multinodular goiter (GOITER, NODULAR). Nodule, Thyroid,Nodules, Thyroid,Thyroid Nodules

D018608 Ultrasonography, Doppler Ultrasonography applying the Doppler effect, with frequency-shifted ultrasound reflections produced by moving targets (usually red blood cells) in the bloodstream along the ultrasound axis in direct proportion to the velocity of movement of the targets, to determine both direction and velocity of blood flow.
