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 level as a similarity between data from different times within the plurality;

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

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

    generating an image as a function of a level of contrast agents, the level of contrast agents being of the contrast agents after the transmitting.
