We have developed super-resolution echography to visualize instantaneous velocity and acceleration of internal organs from time-series echograms recorded by a high-frame-rate echograph. The algorithm for this method involves subtraction of two echograms, dividing the difference by the brightness gradient of the first echogram, and normalization of that result by the time interval between the two echograms. Velocity or acceleration is classified into some suitable colors and superimposed on the original B-mode image. Functional diagnosis of moving organs can be made by visualizing instantaneous velocity. In the case of the heart, hypokinesis can be distinguished from a normal heart by the value and the variation of colored parts representing instantaneous velocity. This can also be applied to the liver to observe pulsatile motion. By visualizing instantaneous acceleration, increase or decrease of velocity can be detected. Throb timing and the location of arrhythmia in a heart can be observed. This method has the possibility of contributing to noninvasive functional and characteristic evaluation.
