Abstract
An ultrasound scanning system includes an ultrasound scanner, a trained spare recovery neural network and a super resolution image generator. The ultrasound scanner views a patient after intravenous injection of microbubbles and then generates a sequence of ultrasound images. The sequence of ultrasound images is formed of a sequence of B-mode ultrasound images and a sequence of contrast enhanced ultrasound images corresponding to the B-mode ultrasound images. The trained sparse recovery neural network is trained on synthesized images of point sources and generates, for at least one image of the sequence of contrast-enhanced ultrasound images, a super-resolved image of locations of the microbubbles in that image. The super resolution image generator receives an output of the trained sparse recovery neural network and generates therefrom a super-resolved image of a microvasculature through which the microbubbles flowed.
