System and method for estimating cardiac dynamics and flow instability using ultrasound

The present disclosure relates to ultrasound-based strategies and techniques that are specially designed for time-resolved simultaneous cardiac tissue visualization and intracardiac flow instability mapping. First, to achieve high-resolution tissues images while also acquiring flow data, we devised an acquisition scheme which consists of two batches. The first batch is dedicated to tissue imaging, where we transmit a series of diverging waves emitted from different virtual source locations. These pulses have a single pulse-cycle to optimize axial resolution and are coherently compounded for improving lateral resolution. This paradigm generates tissue images with an improved resolution, allowing for real-time guidance at frame rates up to 50 fps. The second batch is dedicated for flow imaging where all diverging waves are transmitted from the same virtual source location. These flow pulses have a 5-cycle pulse length for improved flow signal. The length of this batch can be adjusted, but our experiments use a length of 64. The final transmission scheme alternates between the tissue batch and flow batch.
