In vitro characterization of liposomes and Optison by acoustic scattering at 3.5 MHz.

Abstract:

Liposomes are phospholipid vesicles that can encapsulate both gas and fluid. With antibody conjugation, new formulations, known as immunoliposomes, can be targeted to atheroma and other pathologic components and are, thus, being developed as novel diagnostic ultrasound (US) echo contrast agents to enhance atherosclerosis imaging. The majority of these echogenic liposomes range in diameter from 0.25 to 5.0 microm. To quantify the echogenicity of liposome suspensions of varying concentrations, ...
