Contrast-enhanced ultrasound measurement of pancreatic blood flow dynamics predicts type 1 diabetes progression in preclinical models

Non-invasive techniques to assess the progression of type 1 diabetes prior to clinical onset are needed. Here the authors apply a contrast-enhanced ultrasound measurement of mouse pancreatic blood flow to detect changes in the islet microvasculature that undergoes rearrangements during diabetes and...
