Parametric perfusion imaging with contrast-enhanced ultrasound in acute ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Color-coded perfusion maps can be calculated from ultrasound harmonic gray-scale imaging data after ultrasound contrast agent bolus injection to analyze brain tissue perfusion. First reports indicate that this method can display cerebral perfusion deficits in acute ischemic stroke. We performed a prospective patient study to evaluate this approach. METHODS Thirty consec...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced ultrasound for prostate cancer imaging
• Need for targeted instead of blind biopsies, in order to reduce false negatives and to improve grading and staging • Need for accurate grading, staging and prognosis, in order to a) reduce side effects by enabling active surveillance and treating only relevant cases and b) avoid recurrence as a result of understaging and inappropriate treatment • Need for targeted therapies (focal local treat...
متن کاملHigh Framerate Imaging of Ultrasound Contrast Agents
Phospholipid-coated ultrasound contrast agents may deflate or even collapse because of stress resulting from ultrasound-induced oscillations. In this work we investigate the behavior of isolated contrast agent microbubbles during prolonged ultrasound excitation. Isolated microbubbles placed in a thin capillary tube were excited with hundreds of ultrasound pulses at a low mechanical index, and t...
متن کاملMyocardial ischemic memory imaging with molecular echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome in patients presenting with chest discomfort is a challenge. Because acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion is associated with endothelial upregulation of leukocyte adhesion molecules, which persist even after ischemia has resolved, we hypothesized that microbubbles designed to adhere to endothelial selectins would permit echocardiographic identifica...
متن کاملDual-Frequency Piezoelectric Transducers for Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging
For many years, ultrasound has provided clinicians with an affordable and effective imaging tool for applications ranging from cardiology to obstetrics. Development of microbubble contrast agents over the past several decades has enabled ultrasound to distinguish between blood flow and surrounding tissue. Current clinical practices using microbubble contrast agents rely heavily on user training...
