Ultrasonography has, until recently, lacked effective contrast‐enhancing agents. Micrometer‐
sized gas bubbles that resonate at a diagnostic frequency are ideal reflectors for ultrasound …

Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) is a noninvasive imaging technique that relies
on the ultrasound detection of microbubble contrast agents. These agents are confined to …

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound has shown convincing results for monitoring vessel
morphology, surrogate markers of vascularization and changes in molecular marker …

Ultrasound is one of the workhorses in clinical cancer diagnosis. In particular, it is routinely
used to characterize lesions in liver, urogenital tract, head and neck and soft tissues. During …

Liver fibrosis remains a life-threatening pathological condition, which might lead to
complications like cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma when left untreated. The lack of …

Fluorocarbon gases have been key to the recent development of several commercial
injectable microbubble products that serve as contrast agents for ultrasound imaging …

Objectives: We have developed a novel calibration technique applicable for myocardial
contrast echocardiography (MCE). We assessed the value of this technique in the …

Contrast echocardiography can be broadly defined as a set of techniques used to enhance
the blood pool during cardiac ultrasound imaging. The evolution of contrast …
