Abstract
Spatial resolution in classic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is limited by acoustic diffraction. Ultrafast ultrasound localization microscopy (uULM) has enabled a sub-diffraction spatial resolution of tens of micrometers in-vivo, although at the expense of a scan duration of tens of seconds. In contrast, by exploiting the statistical properties of CEUS, super resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) recently demonstrated temporal resolution of 90ms in-vivo with a spatial resolution two times better than the diffraction limit. Here, we report on a method which achieves a spatial resolution similar to that of uULM, but with temporal resolution of CEUS SOFI, termed sparsity based ultrasonic super resolution hemodynamic imaging (SUSHI).
