AB - Sub-diffraction imaging, also known as ultrasound localization microscopy, is a novel method that can overcome the fundamental diffraction limit by localizing spatially isolated microbubbles. This method requires the use of a low concentration of microbubbles to ensure that they are spatially isolated. For in vivo microvascular imaging, especially for cancer tissue with high microvascular density, spatial isolation cannot be always achieved, since vessels are close to each other and the speed of flow is slow. This study proposes a frequency decomposition method that uses the polydisperse nature of commercial contrast agents to separate spatially non-isolated microbubbles with different acoustic signatures. Zero-phase filters were applied to ensure that there is no relative phase delay between decomposed signals. Results showed that a super-resolution image after frequency decomposition can be generated with three times lower number of acquisitions without sacrificing image quality.
