title: The effects of sodium nitroprusside on Doppler signals from a soft tissue tumour.
abstract: In a previous study, we described the effects of systemic vasoconstriction on the Doppler signals from a soft tissue tumour (Taylor et al, 1989). Our conclusions were that vasoconstriction produced significant changes in the signals from normal vessels and enhanced the differences between normal and neoplastic vessel signals. The aim of this study was to determine whether converse changes were produced by vasodilatation.
