Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for contrast enhanced ultrasound quantification imaging are provided. One of the methods includes: obtaining, for each location in a region of interest, a time-dependent ultrasound signal with respect to the region of interest for a time period; determining, for the each location, a processed time-dependent ultrasound signal based at least on the obtained time-dependent ultrasound signal, wherein: the processed time-dependent ultrasound signal maps one or more portions of the obtained time-dependent ultrasound signal that each locally increase over a threshold, and the processed time-dependent ultrasound signal flattens one or more portions of the obtained time-dependent ultrasound signal that do not each locally increase over the threshold; and generating a sequence of images of the region of interest based at least on the processed time-dependent ultrasound signal of the each location, wherein the generated sequence of images displays signal variations of the processed time-dependent ultrasound signal in one or more structures in the region of interest to render the one or more structures.
