1. A method for imaging contrast agents within a patient'"'"'s body by which motion-related artifacts are reduced, comprising:

  • receiving echoed signals from the body;

    processing the received data to correct for motion effects using a motion estimate representative of tissue and contrast agent motion within the patient'"'"'s body;

    processing the received data to suppress tissue response including time-correcting data received from successive transmit lines using a time-correction function based on said motion estimate; and

    imaging the contrast agents.
