Ultrasound contrast agents

ID: ultrasound-contrast-agents

Ultrasound contrast agents are substances used in medical ultrasound imaging to enhance the quality and diagnostic capability of ultrasound examinations. These agents typically consist of microbubbles that are filled with gas and coated with a lipid or protein shell. When administered, these microbubbles can improve the contrast between the blood and surrounding tissues, making it easier to visualize blood flow, vascular structures, and internal organs during an ultrasound procedure.
