Recent Experiences and Advances in Contrast-Enhanced Subharmonic Ultrasound

Recent Experiences and Advances in Contrast-Enhanced Subharmonic Ultrasound

Nonlinear contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging schemes strive to suppress tissue signals in order to better visualize nonlinear signals from blood-pooling ultrasound contrast agents. Because tissue does not generate a subharmonic response (i.e., signal at half the transmit frequency), subharmonic im...
