Potential of Biophilia Intruder's 3D NLS approach
The 3D NLS method was developed in 2006 and can play an important role in the diagnosis of vascular pathology. The main advantages of the 3D NLS method are that it is easy to search, easy to locate blood vessels and can easily distinguish vascular from non-vascular structures, arteries from veins, and very accurately reveals signs of vascular permeability disturbances caused by stenosis or occlusion of atherosclerosis Plaque or thrombosis of the vessel lumen that is usually not visible with conventional angiography alone.
In addition, the 3D NLS method of Biophilia Intruder can diagnose portal hypertension, the degree of portal hypertension and the permeability of the portosystemic shunt. NLS is very sensitive in determining the extent of peripancreatic vascular involvement in pancreatic cancer, which is critical for the selection of surgical treatment strategies. NLS can identify affected renal vessels (venous and arterial), which is important for the correct selection of antihypertensive drugs in the setting of arterial hypertension.
Some effective blood pressure-lowering drugs, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors—capetin, enalapril, belipril, and others—are widely used, but they have contraindications for renal artery stenosis. So doctors should keep in mind that it is necessary to check for strictures before prescribing this drug. In this case, 3D NLS is likely to be the method of choice.
The 3D NLS approach is essential for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant liver diseases. Its sensitivity is comparable to the potential of conventional or digital angiography and magnified CT. Also, NLS methods are cheaper, simpler and easier to use. If desired, it can be used directly at the patient's bedside.
The 3D NLS approach can be used in ophthalmology to examine ocular hemodynamics before and after surgical intervention and in obstetrics to reveal disturbed blood flow in the umbilical artery to diagnose fetal developmental delay and predict adverse perinatal outcomes.
Another potential of the 3D NLS approach is skull scans, which can reveal intracranial hematomas, aneurysms, cysts and tumors in the brain.
These are by no means the full potential of 3D NLS methods. All in all, the 3D NLS method is one of the most dynamic technologies, and some new discoveries are likely to emerge in the next few years.
