Does the root-MUSIC blood velocity estimator improve spatial blood velocity reconstruction compared to standard estimators in Doppler ultrasound?
The root-MUSIC technique provides increased sensitivity and effective clutter suppression for wideband high frame rate Doppler ultrasound imaging.
Vaitkus et al. (1998) studied this question. 2-D narrowband time-domain root-MUSIC blood velocity estimator vs. 1-D Kasai estimator, time domain correlator, wideband point maximum likelihood estimator, and 2-D Kasai-type estimators was evaluated on Blood velocity estimation performance and clutter suppression. The root-MUSIC blood velocity estimator demonstrated superior ability to reconstruct spatial blood velocity information and effectively suppress clutter compared to standard Kasai-type estimators.
