Harnessing chemically crosslinked microbubble clusters using deep learning for ultrasound contrast imaging
We highlight the feasibility of detecting and distinguishing the unique acoustic characteristics of CCMCs, thereby improving the detectability and localization of contrast agents in ultrasound imaging. The elevated acoustic amplitudes produced by CCMCs offer potential advantages for more effective contrast agent detection, which is particularly valuable in super-resolution ultrasound imaging. Both the contrast agent and the ML-based analysis approach hold promise for a wide range of applications.
