Abstract
Described here are systems and methods for quantifying vessel features in non-contrast microvasculature images obtained with an ultrasound imaging system. Vessel features that are quantified include, but are not limited to, vessel structure features (e.g., number of vessels, vessel density, number of branch points), vessel diameter, and vessel tortuosity. Morphological filtering is used to generate vessel segments from which the quantitative vessel features can be reliably quantified.
