Standard Properties of Ultrasound Contrast Agents
Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 1998A standardization procedure for in vitro acoustic characterization of ultrasound contrast agents is presented. One new acoustic parameter for particular importance is retained: This is STAR, scattering-to-attenuation ratio, for quantification of the effectiveness of the contrast agent. The STAR expresses the ability of the contrast agent to enhance the

Ultrasound Contrast Agents For Ultrasound Molecular Imaging
Zeitschrift für Gastroenterologie, 2014Ultrasound is a real-time imaging technique which is widely used in many clinical applications for its capacity to provide anatomic information with high spatial and temporal resolution. The advent of ultrasound contrast agents in combination with contrast-specific imaging modes has given access to perfusion assessments at an organ level, leading to an

Ultrasound contrast agents: An overview
European Journal of Radiology, 2006With the introduction of microbubble contrast agents, diagnostic ultrasound has entered a new era that allows the dynamic detection of tissue flow of both the macro and microvasculature. Underpinning this development is the fact that gases are compressible, and thus the microbubbles expand and contract in the alternating pressure waves of the ...

Ultrasound Contrast Agents and Ultrasound Molecular Imaging
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2014Ultrasound imaging in combination with microbubble contrast agents has demonstrated its potential for molecular imaging of vascular targets. In this article, we systematically review the technologies related to ultrasound molecular imaging. First, we introduce the basic principles of ultrasound molecular imaging. Then, we discuss ultrasound microbubble

Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, 1997
The introduction of ultrasound contrast agents will bring new applications of this diagnostic imaging technology into clinical practice. Vascular, organ-specific, and oral agents are now in clinical trials and will soon be available. The development and properties of ultrasound contrast agents, most of which are based on gas-filled microbubbles, are ...

Microbubbles, developed as ultrasound contrast agents for vascular imaging are valuable theranostic agents for multiple biomedical applications. The utility of these agents can be attributed to their unique response to ultrasound. When exposed to an acoustic pulse, microbubbles can resonate to create a strong acoustic signal that can be used to ...

Microbubble ultrasound contrast agents: an update
European Radiology, 2007Microbubble contrast agents for ultrasound (US) have gained increasing interest in recent years, and contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) is a rapidly evolving field with applications now extending far beyond the initial improvements achieved in Doppler US.

New ultrasound contrast agents that comprise microbubbles encapsulating a gas within a shell made from a blend of bipolar compounds having mixed carbon chain length. The compounds have hydrophobic groups selected from the group consisting of straight-chained alkyls, alkylethers, alkylthiolethers, alkyldisulfides, polyfluoroalkyls, and ...

Two concepts of microbubble stabilization led to reproducible, industrially manufactured contrast agents, and to the transpulmonary stability of agents after intravenous injection. The albumin microencapsulation concept is represented by Albunex (Molecular Biosystems, San Diego, CA), the saccharide microparticle concept is represented by SH U 454 ...
