Evaluation of microbubbles as contrast agents for ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging.

BACKGROUND: Microbubbles (MBs) can serve as an ultrasound contrast agent, and has the potential for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Due to the relatively low effect of MBs on MRI, it is necessary to develop new MBs that are more suitable for MRI. In this study, we evaluate the properties of SonoVu...
