Microvascular density (MVD) refers to the number of microvessels, such as capillaries, arterioles, and venules, per unit area of tissue. It is a critical marker for assessing the extent of angiogenesis, the process by which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. MVD is often used in various fields of biomedical research, including oncology, cardiology, and pathology, to evaluate tissue vascularity.
