摘要:
An ultrasound system and method that can include: a receive beamformer configured to receive signals from a transducer a processor coupled to the receive beamformer, the processor configured to: analyze echo data reflected from a region of interest, the echo data elicited by a transmitted pulse sequence using the echo data, determine a central tendency of a signal magnitude from regions of adherent microbubbles over time within the region of interest determine a time series of the signal magnitude using the time series, determine an initial signal magnitude parameter obtain a saturated signal parameter and a residual signal parameter using the time series and determine a relative indication of information indicative of the residual signal magnitude versus the saturated signal magnitude.
