May enhance experimental clutter suppression in color flow imaging; leaves open clinical diagnostic gains pending validation.
Absolute Event Rate: 9% vs 2.5%
The proposed Hankel-SVD filter improves clutter suppression and better distinguishes between blood and moving tissue in color flow ultrasound imaging compared to existing filters.
Yu et al. (2008) studied this question. Hankel-SVD filter vs. clutter-downmixing filter and fixed-rank multi ensemble-based eigen-filter was evaluated on Separation in power between blood and moving-tissue regions. The Hankel-SVD filter achieved better distinction between blood and moving-tissue regions (about 9 dB separation in power) compared to the clutter-downmixing filter (2 to 3 dB separation).
