Current methods for in vivo microvascular imaging (<1 mm) are limited by the tradeoffs between the depth of penetration, resolution, and acquisition time. Ultrasound Doppler approaches combined at elevated frequencies (<7.5 MHz) are able to visualize smaller vasculature and, however, are still limited in the segmentation of lower velocity blood flow from moving tissue. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been successful in visualizing changes in microvascular flow at conventional diagnostic ultrasound imaging frequencies (<7.5 MHz). However, conventional CEUS approaches at elevated frequencies have met with limited success, due, in part, to the diminishing microbubble response with frequency. We apply a plane-wave acquisition combined with the non-linear Doppler processing of ultrasound contrast agents at 15 MHz to improve the resolution of microvascular blood flow while compensating for reduced microbubble response. This plane-wave Doppler approach of imaging ultrasound contrast agents also enables simultaneous detection and separation of blood flow in the microcirculation and higher velocity flow in the larger vasculature. We apply singular value decomposition filtering on the nonlinear Doppler signal to orthogonally separate the more stationary lower velocity flow in the microcirculation and higher velocity flow in the larger vasculature. This orthogonal separation was also utilized to improve time-intensity curve analysis of the microcirculation, by removing higher velocity flow corrupting bolus kinetics. We demonstrate the utility of this imaging approach in a rat spinal cord injury model, requiring submillimeter resolution.
