Nano-Sized Ultrasound Contrast Agent: Salting-Out Method
Tumor imaging by ultrasound is greatly enhanced by the use of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs), stabilized, gas-filled bodies. They are generally less than 7 μm to pass freely through the capillary bed. Development of a nano-sized agent would enable them to extravasate through the leaky pores of an...
