Disruption of contrast agents for monitoring blood flow

Abstract: An experimental system is being developed for controlling the flow of ultrasound contrast agent to create abrupt changes in contrast levels in tissues. Such changes can be used to monitor blood flow through bolus passage and to identify specific feeder vessels. Focused ultrasound (2.25 MHz) has been used to interrupt flow of the contrast agent MRX-115 (ImaRx Pharmaceuticals, Tucson AZ) in a tube (2. I mm id., average velocity of 9.45 cm/s) and in vivo using short bursts 20 cycles in duration with a pulse repet… Show more
