Abstract:
This review gives a summary on current ultrasound contrast agents and their composition. Methods of brain imaging using UCA, like harmonic imaging and acoustic emission, are also described. Besides contrast-enhanced conventional color duplexsonography of the extracranial brain supplying arteries, transcranial contrast investigation of the basal cerebral arteries and visualization of cerebral microcirculation are also discussed in this paper. Another main topic are the interactions between UCA, human tissue and the ultrasound system.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
