This disclosure describes systems and methods for ultrasound imaging and targeting. In one example, the systems and methods improve targeting and imaging through a heterogenous medium by using the angular spectrum approach (ASA) alone or in combination with passive acoustic mapping (PAM). In another example, the systems and methods improve the ultrasound imaging of vessels using microbubbles. The imaging of the vessels is also aided by the ASA and PAM. A closed loop controller is described that adjusts the ultrasound pressure provided to a region of interest to a desired pressure based at least in part on the harmonic, ultra-harmonic, sub-harmonic, or broadband frequency ranges for the microbubbles.

Systems and methods for ultrasound imaging and focusing

In a method and computer for visualizing a medical image data set, in particular a magnetic resonance image data set, the medical imaging data set is provided to the computer which determines a first subset of the medical image data set related to a first parameter and a second subset of the medical image data set related to a second parameter. A first color is assigned to the first subset and a second color is assigned to the second subset. The first subset is transferred to a display in a first color presentation using the first color and the second subset is transferred in a second color presentation using the second color. The first color presentation and the second color presentation are combined for visualizing the medical imaging data set.
