Early detection of doxorubicin myocardial injury by ultrasonic tissue characterization in an experimental animal model

<p>Abstract</p> <p>In the clinical setting, the early detection of myocardial injury induced by doxorubicin (DXR) is still considered a challenge. To assess whether ultrasonic tissue characterization (UTC) can identify early DXR-related myocardial lesions and their correlation with...
