Abstract
- Contrast echocardiography is an important technique that .,/ can be used to examine the cardiac cavity, vascular tructure, intracardiac shunt, and myocardial microcirculation. uses gasfilled microbubbles and various imaging techiques. The properties of microbubbles and their interaction Ath ultrasound are important in ultrasoundenhanced conast imaging. This article will describe microbubbie physics id new ultrasound techniques that are necessary to under--and the basics of contrast echocardiography. The utility of )ntrast echocardiography in various clinical scenarios will be so described.
