New Progress in Ultrasound Molecular Imaging

Abstract

With the development of molecular imaging, ultrasound imaging is no longer a means to diagnose diseases, but to the molecular level of accurate medical treatment. The tool of ultrasonic molecular imaging is ultrasound contrast medium. in order to meet the diversified clinical needs, ultrasound contrast agent has developed from the first generation and the second generation to multimodal contrast agent. Targeted ultrasound contrast agent can carry corresponding biomarker factors for localization, imaging and treatment of lesions, which is an important development direction to achieve accurate ultrasound diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, the research progress of ultrasonic molecular imaging technology is reviewed.
