This work presents an offline algorithm for temporal enhancement of 2D CDE. Unlike previous frame reordering approaches, it can filter out-of-plane or corrupted frames, increasing the quality of the results, which substantially increases diagnostic value of 2D CDE. It can be used for high-frame-rate intraoperative imaging of intraventricular and valve regurgitant flows and is potentially modifiable for real-time use on ultrasound machines.
