  • Abstract
    This article highlights the current state of ultrasound contrast imaging, including recent improvements in ultrasound contrast agents that allow the agents to pass through pulmonary circulation and even to circulate throughout the human body. A brief history of the field is presented, and current contrast agents and their properties are discussed. Clinical applications in cardiology and potential applications in other areas are also detailed
