Generation of super-resolution (SR) ultrasound (US) images, created from the successive local-ization of individual microbubbles in the circulation, has enabled the visualization of microvascular structure and flow at a level of detail that…
In ultrasound (US) imaging, various types of adaptive beamforming techniques have been investigated to improve the resolution and contrast-to-noise ratio of the delay and sum (DAS) beamformers. Unfortunately, the performance of these…
Super-resolution ultrasound (SRUS) visualises microvasculature beyond the ultrasound diffraction limit (wavelength($\lambda$)/2) by localising and tracking spatially isolated microbubble contrast agents. SRUS phantoms typically consist of…
Conventional ultrasound (US) imaging employs the delay and sum (DAS) receive beamforming with dynamic receive focus for image reconstruction due to its simplicity and robustness. However, the DAS beamforming follows a geometrical method of…

Typically, an ultrasound flow imaging system employs the conventional delay and sum (DAS) beamformer due to its inherent low complexity. But the conventional DAS technique offers poor contrast, low imaging resolution, and limited…
Super-resolution ultrasound (SRUS) technology has overcome the resolution limitations of conventional ultrasound, enabling micrometer-scale imaging of microvasculature. However, due to the nature of imaging principles, three-dimensional…
Ultrasound (US) is widely used for clinical imaging applications thanks to its real-time and non-invasive nature. However, its lesion detectability is often limited in many applications due to the phase aberration artefact caused by…
The row-column addressed array is an emerging probe for ultrafast 3-D ultrasound imaging. It achieves this with far fewer independent electronic channels and a wider field of view than traditional 2-D matrix arrays, of the same channel…
Recently, super-resolution ultrasound imaging with ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) has received much attention. However, ULM relies on low concentrations of microbubbles in the blood vessels, ultimately resulting in long…
Super-resolution ultrasound imaging has been so far achieved in 3-D by mechanically scanning a volume with a linear probe, by co-aligning multiple linear probes, by using multiplexed 3-D clinical ultrasound systems, or by using 3-D…
For beamforming ultrasound (US) signals, typically a spatially constant speed-of-sound (SoS) is assumed to calculate delays. As SoS in tissue may vary relatively largely, this approximation may cause wavefront aberrations, thus degrading…
Contrast-Enhanced Ultra-Sound (CEUS) has become a viable method for non-invasive, dynamic visualization in medical diagnostics, yet Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) has enabled a revolutionary breakthrough by offering ten times…
Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) enables imaging of vascular structures in the micrometer range by accumulating contrast agent particle locations over time. Precise and efficient target localization accuracy remains an active…
The standard technique used by commercial medical ultrasound systems to form B-mode images is delay and sum (DAS) beamforming. However, DAS often results in limited image resolution and contrast, which are governed by the center frequency…
In ultrasound (US) imaging, individual channel RF measurements are back-propagated and accumulated to form an image after applying specific delays. While this time reversal is usually implemented using a hardware- or software-based…
