    Abstract: Super-resolution ultrasound imaging of microvessels in a subject is described. Ultrasound data are acquired from a region-of-interest in a subject who has been administered a microbubble contrast agent. The ultrasound data are acquired while the microbubbles are moving through, or otherwise present in, the region-of-interest. Microbubble signals are isolated from the ultrasound data and are separated into subsets of data based on properties of the microbubbles, such as spatial-temporal hemodynamics. By localizing, tracking, and accumulating the microbubbles in each subset of data, super-resolution images of the microvessels can be generated for each subset, such that each of these images represents a sparse subset of microbubble signals. These images are combined to generate a super-resolution microvessel image.
