Method and system for non-invasive quantification of tissue perfusion obtainable by a
destruction-reperfusion process that provide a signal representative of local agent …

Background. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is a novel imaging technique that
is safe and applicable on the bedside. Recent developments seem to enable CEUS to …

The use of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) in the kidney has great promise, but has been
less completely studied than in the heart and liver [1, 2]. In part, this is because there is less …

Current methods for measuring renal blood flow (RBF) are time consuming and not widely
available. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEU) is a safe and noninvasive imaging …

To improve the quantification of tissue perfusion using intermittent sonography, a new model
describing replenishment kinetics of microbubbles is proposed. The new approach takes …

Objective The purpose of this study was to develop a clinically applicable examination
method to assess perfusion of the skeletal muscle using contrast‐enhanced …

PURPOSE: To investigate changes in destruction-replenishment curves (in vitro and in vivo)
that result from microbubble destruction in feeding vessels that pass through the imaging …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: A doxorubicin-loaded microbubble has been developed
that can be destroyed with focused ultrasound resulting in fragments, or “nanoshards” …

Background. Conventional ultrasound parameters such as the resistance index (RI) are only
of limited use in the diagnosis of early allograft dysfunction. We, therefore, performed a …

Low-MI (mechanical index) ultrasound allows real-time observation of replenishment
kinetics after destruction (“flash”) of ultrasound contrast agents (USCA). We developed an …
