Abstract:
An apparatus (106) includes a processing pipeline (124) with a stationary structure motion corrector (204), a stationary structure remover (206) and a flowing structure detector (208). The stationary structure motion corrector is configured to motion correct stationary structure in a series of ultrasound images for subject motion, wherein the series of ultrasound images includes the stationary structure and flowing structure. The stationary structure remover is configured to remove the stationary structure from the motion corrected series of ultrasound images thereby producing flow images of the flowing structure. The flowing structure detector is configured to detect peaks of flow of the flowing structure in the flow images over time to generate images of detected flow peaks. The images of detected flow peaks are accumulated over time to generate a super resolution ultrasound image.
