Ultrasound imaging is an attractive imaging modality due to its low-cost and real-time feedback, although it often falls short in image quality compared to MRI and CT imaging. Conventional ultrasound image reconstruction, such as Delay-and-Sum beamforming, is derived from maximum-likelihood estimati…
Intravascular UltraSound (IVUS) is a key tool in guiding the treatment and diagnosis of various coronary heart diseases. However, due to its nature IVUS is a very challenging modality to interpret, and suffers from a severely restricted data transfer rate. This forces a trade-off between temporal an…
The real-time nature that makes diagnostic ultrasonography so appealing to clinicians imposes strong constraints on the computational complexity of image reconstruction algorithms. As such, these typically rely on traditional delay-and-sum beamforming, a low-complexity approach that unfortunately co…
Based on the intravascular infusion of gas microbubbles, which act as ultrasound contrast agents, ultrasound localization microscopy has enabled super resolution vascular imaging through precise detection of individual microbubbles across numerous imaging frames. However, analysis of high-density re…
Ultrasound localization microscopy offers new radiation-free diagnostic tools for vascular imaging deep within the tissue. Despite its high spatial resolution, low microbubble concentrations dictate the acquisition of tens of thousands of images, over the course of several seconds to tens of seconds…
