Quantification of Blood Flow Using Ultrasound Contrast Agents

Contrast enhanced ultrasound offers a unique method to measure the blood flow, perfusion, vascular volume and morphology of microvascular networks. This is achieved by exploiting the ability of microbubble contrast agents to be disrupted and preferentially detected with contrast specific imaging tec...
