Targeted imaging using ultrasound contrast agents.

Targeted imaging using ultrasound contrast agents.

The applications of ultrasound contrast agents have recently expanded from blood pool enhancement to include passive targeting of physiological systems (in particular, the lymphatic and reticuloendothelial systems) and molecular imaging of factors expressed in angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, and infl...
