1. A method for motion synchronized destruction for reperfusion in medical diagnostic ultrasound, the method comprising:

  • acquiring a plurality of ultrasound frames of data, representing, at least in part, information from contrast agents in a three-dimensional region of a patient;

    determining a registration between data from different times within the plurality;

    transmitting, at a time during the plurality, acoustic energy with an amplitude for destruction of the contrast agents;

    synchronizing the transmitting with the registration such that the transmitting occurs where the registration is on a first side of a first level and does not occur where the registration is on a second side of the first level; and

    generating an image as a function of a level of contrast agent after the transmitting.
