Quantitative image markers of super-resolution ultrasound.

ABSTRACT: Super-resolution ultrasound, with its ability to achieve sub-diffraction resolution and directly track microvascular flow velocity in vivo, offers a level of vascular information inaccessible previously. To fully realise its clinical value, quantitative vascular markers have been explored. In this review, we explore the quantitative super-resolution markers that have been reported, with a focus on occasions where markers have been applied in a clinical or pre-clinical setting, comparing healthy and diseased cases to test the validity and usefulness of these markers. We define all the used markers from structural markers such as vessel density to velocity metrics such as flow rate, we then provide a summary showing what has been attempted and what has been found successful. We hope that thi
