Ultrasound Localization Microscopy Precision of Clinical 3D Ultrasound Systems.

Ultrasound localization microscopy is becoming well established in preclinical applications. For its translation into clinical practice, the localization precision achievable with commercial ultrasound scanners is crucial - especially with volume imaging, which is essential for dealing with out-of-plane motion. Here, we propose an easy-to-perform method to estimate the localization precision of 3D ultrasound scanners.
