Ultrasound Induced Fluorescence of Nanoscale Liposome Contrast Agents.
A new imaging contrast agent is reported that provides an increased fluorescent signal upon application of ultrasound (US). Liposomes containing lipids labelled with pyrene were optically excited and the excimer fluorescence emission intensity was detected in the absence and presence of an ultrasoun...
