Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper presents a high-accuracy microbubble detection method for diagnostic ultrasound imaging systems. The conventional methods are based on simple subtraction of ultrasound images to detect ultrasound contrast agents. Even if the subject slightly moves, the detection result of the conventional methods includes significant errors. On the other hand, the proposed method employs the spatio-temporal analysis of the pixel intensity variation over several frames. Through a set of experiments using the tail of mice, we demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits efficient performance compared with the conventional methods.
