Contrast agents improve the sensitivity of vascular Doppler ultrasound, for example in cerebrovascular sonography or examinations of deep abdominal vessels. They also enlarge the role of transcranial Doppler. Microbubbles can be used with various modes e.g., color and power Doppler imaging, as well as pulsed-wave Doppler to increase the signal intensity. However, the ultrasound system must be suitable for contrast enhanced technology.
Microbubbles usually stay within the vascular space; nevertheless, the contrast enhancement is limited to 2−6 minutes caused by physiologic clearance and bubble destruction.
Depended on the application, contrast agents can be administered with a different injection rate e.g., bolus injection, slow injection, or continuous infusion. Stable, homogeneous, and prolonged enhancement can be obtained with perfusion, lasting until the infusion is stopped.
