Abstract: This is a summary of a consensus statement on the introduction of "Ultrasound microvasculomics" produced by The Chinese Artificial Intelligence Alliance for Thyroid and Breast Ultrasound. The evaluation of microvessels is a very important part for the assessment of diseases. Super-resolution ultrasound (SRUS) microvascular imaging surpasses traditional ultrasound imaging in the morphological and functional analysis of microcirculation. SRUS microvascular imaging relies on contrast microbubbles to gain sensitivity to microvessels and improves the spatial resolution of ultrasound blood flow imaging for a more detailed depiction of vascular structures and hemodynamics. This method has been applied in preclinical animal models and pilot clinical studies, involving areas including neurology, oncology, nephrology, and cardiology. However, the current quantitative parameters of SRUS images are not enough for precise evaluation of microvessels. Therefore, by employing omics methods, more quantification indicators can be obtained, enabling a more precise and personalized assessment of microvascular status. Ultrasound microvasculomics - a high-throughput extraction of image features from SRUS images - is one novel approach that holds great promise but needs further validation in both bench and clinical settings. Clinical relevance statement: Super-resolution Ultrasound (SRUS) blood flow imaging improves spatial resolution. Ultrasound microvasculomics is possible to acquire high-throughput information of features from SRUS images. It provides more precise and abundant micro-blood flow information in clinical medicine. Key Points: This consensus statement reviews the development and application of super-resolution ultrasound (SRUS). The shortcomings of the current quantification indicators of SRUS and strengths of the omics methodology are addressed. "Ultrasound microvasculomics" is introduced for a high-throughput extraction of image features from SRUS images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
