Methods ： The experimental system performed the image reconstruction and time-intensity processing with radio frequency signals. The system was comprised of ultra-high speed hardware data acquisition interface and low computational cost algorithms. The self-made contrast agent ,blood mimic phantom and capillary phantom model were used to validate the experimental system. Results： The images acquired in blood phantoms with linear-array and curve-array transducers were given. The time-intensity curves corresponding to selected region of interestsequence were demonstrated. It was also shown the time-intensity based decay curves and a decay of ultrasound contrast agent under different ultrasound powers. Conclusion： Several suited from two in vitro phantom models show that the experimental system can be used to f blood perfusion and further clinical studies of microvasculature perfusion.展开更多
