A variety of agents have been proposed for use as contrast for ultrasound studies. Several reports suggest the use of microbubbles because of their superior sonographic resolution. We describe a method of producing calibrated microbubbles utilizing differential absorption and gas injection technique
Supercritical carbon dioxide was found to be a suitable substitute for halogenated organic solvents in its copolymerization with propylene oxide. The system was studied utilizing a heterogenous catalyst, zinc glutarate. The polymers were analyzed for selectivity in polycarbonate linkages by 'H NMR s
