Software-based Processing for Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging using Pulse-Inversion Spectral Deconvolution

A software-based processing approach for contrast-enhanced ultrasound (US) imaging is presented. Termed pulse-inversion spectral convolution (PISD), the main motivation here was to further evaluate the performance of this contrast-enhanced US imaging technique using a series of experimental studies. The PISD-based contrast-enhanced US approach is founded on a class of Gaussian derivative functions...
