Abstract:Ultrasound contrast agents are gas filled microbubbles which produced enhanced echoes in ultrasound imaging thus allowing the acquisition of detailed information on the path of blood. It is theoretically known that the size of a vessel affects the behavior of a microbubble, which could potentially be used to discriminate different sized vessels. This information would be useful in the monitoring of neovascularization in tumor growth or treatment. However, currently it is not possible to identify the vessel dia… Show more
