pubmed:abstractText |
To create a microbubble contrast image of vessels that lie below the resolution of an ultrasound system, a technique is required that detects preferentially the agent echo, rejecting that from tissue. Harmonic imaging exploits the nonlinear behavior of microbubbles but forces a compromise between image sensitivity and axial resolution. The authors describe and evaluate a new method that overcomes this compromise and improves contrast imaging performance: pulse inversion imaging.
