Ultrasound Localization Microscopy can resolve the microvascular bed down to a few micrometers. To achieve such performance microbubble contrast agents must perfuse the entire microvascular network. Microbubbles are then located…

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…

Imaging the human brain vasculature with high spatial and temporal resolution remains challenging in the clinic today. Transcranial ultrasound is scarcely used for cerebrovascular imaging, due to low sensitivity and strong phase aberrations…

Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) has recently enabled the mapping of the cerebral vasculature in vivo with a resolution ten times smaller than the wavelength used, down to ten microns. However, with frame rates up to 20.000 frames…

Skull-induced aberrations remain a major drawback of transcranial ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM), degrading sensitivity and spatial accuracy through microbubble mislocalization, false detections, and imaging artifacts, such as…

Ultrasound localization microscopy has enabled super-resolution vascular imaging through precise localization of individual ultrasound contrast agents (microbubbles) across numerous imaging frames. However, analysis of high-density regions…

Transcranial ultrasound imaging is usually limited by skull-induced attenuation and high-order aberrations. By using contrast agents such as microbubbles in combination with ultrafast imaging, not only can the signal-to-noise ratio be…

Non-invasive detection of microvascular alterations in deep tissues in vivo provides critical information for clinical diagnosis and evaluation of a broad-spectrum of pathologies. Recently, the emergence of super-resolution ultrasound…

Mapping blood microflows of the whole brain is crucial for early diagnosis of cerebral diseases. Ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) was recently applied to map and quantify blood microflows in 2D in the brain of adult patients down to…

Lacunes of presumed vascular origin (lacunes) are associated with an increased risk of stroke, gait impairment, and dementia and are a primary imaging feature of the small vessel disease. Quantification of lacunes may be of great importance…

Many functional and structural neuroimaging studies call for accurate morphometric segmentation of different brain structures starting from image intensity values of MRI scans. Current automatic (multi-) atlas-based segmentation strategies…
