Microbubbles (MBs) were observed for the first time in vivo as a curious consequence of
quick saline injection during ultrasound (US) imaging of the aortic root, more than 50 years …

Since their introduction as ultrasound contrast agents, microbubbles have demonstrated the
potential to revolutionise the use of ultrasound at the bedside. Aside from clinical …

Not all bubbles in the bloodstream are detrimental. During the past decade, contrast-
enhanced ultrasound has evolved from a purely investigational tool to a routine diagnostic …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this review is to describe trends in microbubble application in
molecular imaging. CONCLUSION. Microbubbles are used for contrast ultrasound imaging …

Ultrasound (US) imaging is an exquisite tool for the non-invasive and real-time diagnosis of
many different diseases. In this context, US contrast agents can improve lesion delineation …

BACKGROUND: Microbubbles have improved ultrasonography imaging techniques over the
past 2 decades. Their safety, versatility, and easiness of use have rendered them equal or …

Ultrasound contrast agents are highly echogenic microbubbles with many unique properties.
Microbubbles can basically improve the sensitivity of conventional ultrasound imaging to the …

Over the last decade, there has been a significant progress towards the development of
microbubbles as theranostics for a wide variety of biomedical applications. The unique …
