TY  - JOUR
AB  - High-frame-rate (HFR) ultrasound (US) imaging and contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) are often implemented using multipulse transmissions, to enhance image quality. Multipulse approaches, however, suffer from degradation in the presence of motion, especially when coherent compounding and CEUS are combined. In this paper, we investigate this effect on the intensity of HFR CEUS in deep tissue imaging using simulations and in vivo contrast echocardiography (CE). The simulation results show that the motion artifact is much higher when the flow is in an axial direction than a lateral direction. Using a pulse repetition frequency suitable for cardiac imaging, a motion of 35 cm/s can cause as much as 28.5 dB decrease in image intensity, where compounding can contribute up to 18.7 dB of intensity decrease (11 angles). These motion effects are also demonstrated for in vivo cardiac HFR CE, where the large velocities of both the myocardium and the blood are present. Intensity reductions of 10.4 dB are readily visible in the chamber. Finally, we demonstrate how performing motion–correction before pulse inversion compounding greatly reduces such motion artifact and improve image signal-to-noise ratio and contrast.
