• Abstract: Super-resolution ultrasound (SR-US) is a powerful imaging technique for capturing microvasculature and blood flow at high spatial resolution. However, accurate microbubble (MB) localization remains a key challenge, as errors in localization can propagate through subsequent stages of the super-resolution process, affecting overall performance. In this paper, we explore the potential of ensemble learning techniques to enhance MB localization by increasing detection sensitivity and reducing false positives. Our study evaluates the effectiveness of ensemble methods on both in vivo and simulated outputs of a Deformable DEtection TRansformer (Deformable DETR) network. As a result of our study, we are able to demonstrate the advantages of these ensemble approaches by showing improved precision and recall in MB detection and offering insights into their application in SR-US.

  This work introduces a Flow-based Truncated Denoising Diffusion Model for super-resolution MRSI. It shortens the diffusion process by truncating the diffusion chain, and the truncated steps are estimated using a normalizing flow-based network. We demonstrate that FTDDM outperforms existing generative models while speeding up the sampling process by over 9-fold.
