Full angle spatial compounding for improved replenishment analyses in contrast perfusion imaging: in vitro studies.

For contrast enhanced perfusion imaging semi-quantitative methods (such as the bolus-, replenishment- or depletion-method) are commonly used to analyze the dynamic changes in concentration of contrast agent induced by insonification. In order to apply these methods and to decrease artifacts from tissue nonlinearity, perfusion imaging is conducted using decreased transmit power. However, echo signa...
