Descriptive graph of the use of phantom regions, fast-time band-pass filter and slow-time low-pass filter to separate the bound microbubble echoes from those of tissue and free microbubbles. Fast-time filter and slow-time filter are applied to the radiofrequency (RF) data from the T1R7 imaging sub-sequence. The fast time band-pass filter facilitates the discrimination of microbubble echoes from those of tissue; the slow-time filter is designed to differentiate bound and free microbubble echoes.
