  • Publication number: 20230044120
    Abstract: Disclosed is an ultrasonic blood perfusion imaging method for a single blood vessel, comprising: setting an ultrasound focusing label point in a blood vessel contour of a blood vessel to be measured in a region to be measured; obtaining a preactivated ultrasound image of the region to be measured when an ultrasound contrast agent is in an inactive state; activating the ultrasound contrast agent; obtaining an activated ultrasound image of the region to be measured when the ultrasound contrast agent is in an activated state; obtaining an activation map of the ultrasound contrast agent in the blood vessel to be measured; and obtaining a blood flow perfusion distribution map of the blood vessel to be measured. The ultrasound contrast agent is activated at the ultrasound focusing label point causing liquid-to-gas conversion, and the ultrasound signal changes from dark to bright.

  • Publication number: 20220309613
    Abstract: Disclosed are a super-resolution reconstruction method and an apparatus for three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound images, a computer readable storage medium and an electronic device. The method includes: performing at least one thinning operation on a first three-dimensional local image sequence, the thinning operation being configured to enhance motion trajectories of microbubbles; and performing an image reconstruction operation based on the first three-dimensional local image sequence subjected to the at least one thinning operation, so as to generate three-dimensional super-resolution images. The super-resolution reconstruction method for the three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound images, by means of performing thinning operations (for example, respectively performing a first thinning operation and a second thinning operation) on the first three-dimensional local image sequence, highlights motion trajectories of microbubbles, thereby improving a signal-to-noise ratio of an image.
