    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an ultrasound system comprising: an ultrasound transducer configured to transmit a plurality of ultrasound signals from a plurality of elements in a transducer array to a region of interest; the ultrasound transducer further configured to receive and sample a plurality of backscattered ultrasound signals from the region of interest; a processing unit configured to: calculate a local phase parameter in the time-domain for each of the plurality of backscattered ultrasound signals; calculate a center frequency for each of the local phase parameters of the backscattered ultrasound signals in the time domain; a beamformer configured to perform receiver beamforming by summing the center frequencies, wherein the ultrasound system is further configured to generate at least one parameter representative of a physical property of the region of interest based on the summed center frequencies. The disclosure further relates to ultrasound method for generating at least one parameter representative of a physical property of a region of interest.

    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.

    Abstract: The disclosed total blood volume determination systems and methods provide for a faster, simpler, more practical, less invasive, and more flexibly deployable device for blood volume measurement. These systems and methods are based on measuring, in a patient's bloodstream, the resonance of an agent injected into the circulating blood that allows for assessment of the agent's concentration and determination of the total blood volume. The agent may take a variety of forms, including an agent that is detectable via a non-invasive technique such as ultrasound. The agent may be measured over time and fitting the measurement data to provide an accurate determination of total blood volume.
