First sentence: One of the major diagnostic objectives in using an ultrasound contrast agent in the liver is to detect flow in the circulation at a level that is lower than would otherwise be possible.
Description: Using the accounts of 'pioneers' in contrast-enhanced ultrasound, this text offers an overview of second-generation contrast agents, depicting their clinical applications and presenting the most updated contrast-specific software for noncardiologic uses, especially for the study of liver diseases.
