Abstract

The recent development of ultrafast ultrasound localization microscopy (Errico et al., Nature, 2015) provides new opportunities for imaging the vasculature with sub-diffraction resolution. However, the large number of images to be recorded requires acquisitions lasting several minutes. Therefore, physiological motion far larger than the achievable resolution presents challenges for moving tissues. In this work, single microbubbles (MB) were localized in vivo in a rat kidney using a dedicated imaging sequence allowing MB tracking and motion correction. Blood velocity in small vessels (<2 mm/s) was estimated demonstrating the potential of this technique to improve vascular characterization.
