Paper 1: "Super-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging Using Erythrocytes on an Axillary Human Lymph Node"
In this work, we applied the super-resolution ultrasound imaging technique using the erythrocytes (SURE) method on a transcutaneous human lymph node. You see the comparison between a commercial GE scanner's color Doppler image and our SURE pipeline results, which reveal micro-vasculature density, flow direction, and velocity—all achieved from scanning through the skin without contrast agents injection in just two seconds!

Paper 2: "Transcutaneous Super-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging Using Erythrocytes Versus Microbubbles in a Rabbit Kidney"
This study compares super-resolution ultrasound imaging techniques using erythrocytes (SURE) and ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) on a transcutaneous rabbit kidney. While SURE requires no contrast agents injection and processes one second of data, ULM uses microbubbles injected for five seconds of data acquisition.
