Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for image clarity of ultrasound-based images are described wherein motion sections are compensated with the still sections of the region of interest. Velocity map analysis of regions-of-interest is determined to compensate for instrument motion from motions attributable to structures within the region of interest. Methods include image processing algorithms applied to collected echogenic data sets and the dispensers that use apply air-expunged sonic coupling mediums.
