Abstract

There has been an inherent compromise between the spatial resolution and penetration depth in ultrasound imaging. Optical super-resolution, through e.g. photo-activated localization microscopy (PALM), has overcome the diffraction limit of spatial resolution, although its penetration is limited to in vitro applications. Super-resolution ultrasound (SRUS), particularly through localizing spatially isolated individual microbubbles, is shown to be able to break the wave diffraction limit and generate microscopic resolution at centi-meter depth, offering great promises for a wide range of clinical applications. In the talk I would introduce the principles of super-resolution ultrasound through localisation and tracking, and our efforts in technical developments to address some of the current challenges in SRUS and exploring its clinical applications.
