Abstract:Ultrasound (US) is a type of mechanical wave that is
capable of
transmitting energy through biological tissues. By utilization of
various frequencies and intensities, it can elicit specific biological
effects. US imaging (USI) technology has been continuously developed
with the advantages of safety and the absence of radiation. The advancement
of nanotechnology has led to the utilization of various nanomaterials
composed of both organic and inorganic compounds as ultrasound contrast
agents (UCAs). These UCAs e… Show more
