摘要：
A system and method for detecting, via ultrasound, a concretion in a subject are provided. One or more ultrasound pulses are transmitted into the concretion and at least one object of interest, such as a bubble, present in the concretion. Reflection signals from the concretion and the bubble are then contrasted using the twinkling artifact, and a filter removes motion signals. An output device, such as a display, provides an indication of the presence of the concretion based on the reflection signals.
