Ultrasound Contrast Agent Modeling: A Review [PDF]
Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2020 Ultrasound is extensively used in medical imaging, being safe and inexpensive and operating in real time. Its scope of applications has been widely broadened by the use of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) in the form of microscopic bubbles coated by a biocompatible shell.

A novel method to determine hepatic segments using Sonazoid, an ultrasound contrast agent [PDF]
Ultrasonography, 2020 The conventional radiologic method for liver segmentation is based on the position of the hepatic and portal veins. However, during surgery, liver segments are resected based on the distribution of hepatic portal blood flow.
