Tailoring the Size Distribution of Ultrasound Contrast Agents: Possible Method for Improving Sensitivity in Molecular Imaging

Encapsulated microbubble contrast agents incorporating an adhesion ligand in the microbubble shell are used for molecular imaging with ultrasound. Currently available microbubble agents are produced with techniques that result in a large size variance. Detection of these contrast agents depends on p...
