| contents | Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) has presented great potential in functional imaging, benefiting from its ability to reconstruct deep microvasculature. However, the hemodynamic reconstruction is compromised by sparsity in the ULM data, as a limited number of MB tracks cannot sample the complete speed profile in one vessel. Here, we propose to reconstruct hemodynamics using sparse ULM velocity maps by solving a laminar flow model through stochastic variational inference. In addition to vascular geometry and flow velocity maps, the proposed method generates two new ULM maps - a pressure gradient map and a map describing uncertainty of the estimation. By investigating the effect of sparsity in ULM maps on the quantification and visualization of hemodynamics, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in dealing with sparse ULM maps via simulations and 3D rat brain imaging. Accurately reconstructing a broad range of hemodynamic parameters and associate uncertanties using sparse ULM data may help detect subtle and dynamic brain activity. |
