Recent work has shown that μUS power Doppler poorly detects CAM tumor microvessels, although improvements are achieved using singular value decomposition (SVD) clutter filtering. However, SVD remains affected by tissue motion and complexities with respect to cut-off order selection. Here we investigate a more robust approach for flow imaging processing, involving motion compensation prior to clutter filtering with SVD or interframe subtraction (IS).
A series of scripts were developed to manipulate ultrasound images for this purpose, and a web-based dashboard was implemented to house this pipeline in a straightforward user-interface.
Please find the poster here.
There is also a video showcase of the pipeline as well as a recorded demonstration of the software below.
