Skoltech researchers and their colleagues have synthesized and tested protein-polymer microbubbles for use in medical ultrasound imaging of internal organs. Administered intravenously, the ...

In most cases, the targeted microbubble contrast agents (MCAs) are fitted with a high-affinity targeting ligand. After the MCAs are adhered to the target, they begin to improve the acoustic signal ...

CHICAGO, September 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is superior to contrast magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT), and offers 100% sensitivity and ...

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ultrasound contrast agents show promise for detecting and evaluating uterine disorders and prostate cancers, scientists reported today at the annual Advances in Contrast ...

A new contrast agent could allow real-time monitoring of pH changes in the body using an ultrasound scanner (ACS Sens. 2020, DOI: 10.1021/acssensors.0c00245). This expansion of the use of ultrasound ...

The recommendation is included in the organization’s “Guidelines for the management of chronic coronary syndromes,” published Aug. 30 in the European Heart Journal. “Ultrasound contrast agents ...

SonoVue is a second-generation contrast agent that uses sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles for contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging in adults. SonoVue is a low solubility gas contrast agent that allows ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) initiates a complex biological response and leads to the disruption of motor and sensory signals between the brain and the peripheral body at and below the level of damage.

Although contrast agents have an essential role in non-invasive imaging techniques, potential side effects limit their use. For example, both low- and iso-osmolar iodinated contrast media used in ...

A systematic review of the effectiveness of contrast-enhanced ultrasound using SonoVue compared with contrast-enhanced CT and contrast-enhanced MRI was undertaken by the external assessment group. The ...
