title: A fast algorithm for adaptive clutter rejection in ultrasound color flow imaging based on the first-order perturbation: a simulation study.
abstract: A fast clutter rejection method for ultrasound color flow imaging is proposed based on the first-order perturbation as an efficient implementation of eigen-decomposition. The proposed method is verified by simulated data. Results show that the proposed method can be adaptive to non-stationary clutter movements and its computational complexity is lower than that of the conventional eigen-based clutter rejection methods.
