Application of Ultrasound Microbubbles When Diagnosing Cardiovascular Diseases

Li Rao

Abstract

Ultrasound microbubbles are a type of contrast agent that has acoustic characteristics that can be used in ultrasonic contrast imaging.The sensitivity and specificity of microbubbles in ultrasound would improve echocardiography and molecular imaging diagnosis.This article reviews the use of ultrasound microbubbles in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.
