Investigating the Influence of the Physiological Environment on Quantitative Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound Doppler studies have long been used for quantifying blood flow velocity, and microbubble contrast agents can be used to amplify the Doppler signal. However, the highly nonlinear response of the bubbles to ultrasound can affect measurement accuracy and this has limited their application. R...
