High frequency ultrasonic imaging of targeted microbubble contrast agents under controlled shear stress
Inflamed areas of atherosclerosis associated with unstable plaque in arteries have been shown to express specific inter-cell adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1. In order to distinguish between areas of stable and unstable plaque an ultrasonic contrast agent has been developed in-house for imaging wit...
