The USphere Series of microbubble contrast agents has been carefully designed for preclinical imaging, operating efficiently at frequencies ranging from 1 to 40 MHz. Their small size distribution (1.1 ...

Impaired mucociliary transport is a distinguishing sign of cystic fibrosis, but current methods of evaluation are invasive or expose young patients to ionizing radiation. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound ...

In most cases, the targeted microbubble contrast agents (MCAs) are fitted with a high-affinity targeting ligand. After the MCAs are adhered to the target, they begin to improve the acoustic signal ...

Skoltech researchers and their colleagues have synthesized and tested protein-polymer microbubbles for use in medical ultrasound imaging of internal organs. Administered intravenously, the ...

(Nanowerk News) A brief clinical report showed that Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography (CE-IOUS) using a new microbubble agent, Sonazoid, can allow surgeons to investigate the whole ...

Screening for prostate cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Background: A novel ultrasound method employing microbubble (MB) contrast offers portable, noninvasive dynamic assessment of tumor ...

Contrast differences in conventional X-ray imaging rely on the varying degree of attenuation of x-rays penetrating different types of tissue. Contrast is highest in imaging materials with large ...
