## Purpose: Microbubble contrast agents are currently implemented in a variety of both clinical and preclinical ultrasound imaging studies. The therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities of these contrast agents are limited by their short in‐vivo lifetimes, and research to lengthen their circulation t

The pressure of the ultrasound wave may limit the lonultrasound scatterers and provide varying degrees of echogenic gevity of microbubble-based contrast agents. This study evaluated contrast [4,5,7,10,11]. The intensity of the reflected signal is reliver enhancement over time as a function of transm
We have conducted initial studies that demonstrated the feasibility of employing ultrasonic contrast agents with very-high-frequency ultrasound (VHFU), using wideband transducers with center frequencies near 40 MHz. These studies were undertaken with an ultimate objective of quantifying perfusion in
The structural effect of biodegradable macromolecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents, polydisulfide gadolinium (Gd) (III) chelates, on their in vitro degradability, and cardiovascular and tumor imaging were evaluated in mice. Polydisulfide Gd(III) chelates, Gd-DTPA cystamine copoly
Choline (Cho) signal identification and quantification in ^1^H MRS are used in breast cancer diagnosis. However, an influence of the gadolinium‐based contrast agent on the Cho amplitude has been reported experimentally. This study aims to identify the impact of gadolinium‐based contrast agents on Ch
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of cellular‐interstitial water exchange on estimates of tracer kinetics parameters obtained using rapid dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) MRI. Data from the internal obturator muscle of six patients were examined using three models of wa
