The structure of microvasculature cannot be resolved using conventional ultrasound (US) imaging due to the fundamental diffraction limit at clinical US frequencies. It is possible to …
Combining diverging ultrasound waves and microbubbles could improve contrast-enhanced echocardiography (CEE), by providing enhanced temporal resolution for cardiac function …
High-frame-rate (HFR) ultrasound (US) imaging and contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) are often implemented using multipulse transmissions, to enhance image quality. Multipulse …

Contrast echocardiography (CE) ultrasound with microbubble contrast agents has significantly advanced our capability for assessment of cardiac function, including …
Suppressing tissue clutter is an essential step in blood flow estimation and visualization, even when using ultrasound contrast agents. Blind source separation (BSS)-based clutter …
Assessing cardiac function with trans-thoracic ultrasound is a challenging task, mainly due to its fast motion and its anatomical position which only allows for a narrow intercostal …
The use of diverging ultrasound waves provides enhanced temporal resolution for cardiac function assessment. However, current image formation techniques using coherent …
With unfocused plane/diverging ultrasound waves, the capability of simultaneous sampling on each element of an array transducer has spawned a branch known as high-frame-rate …
The use of high frame rate ultrasound is based on emitting unfocused pulses, which requires multiple angle image compounding to obtain satisfactory image contrast and signal to noise …
