Ultrasound Contrast Agents: Basic Principles and Clinical Applications

Following the success of the first edition and the recent, continuing developments in the field of ultrasound contrast agents, Dr. Barry Goldberg and his two new co-editors have assembled an international team of experts to discuss the basic principles of ultrasound contrast agents and, more importantly for the clinician, ultrasound agents in clinical use. As well as concentrating on the physics, principles, and radiological techniques, cardiovascular applications are also included. The significant improvements in the capabilities of ultrasound contrast agents and the greater number of contrast agents thoroughly under investigation as well as those already available on the market, mean the clinician and researcher must keep abreast of all developments in this revolutionary field. This is the book which will serve that purpose.
