Abstract:
Ultrasound-based molecular imaging technique is a role in positioning based on the conventional ultrasonic detection technology in combination with the targeted ultrasound contrast agent.It is a new technology to detect the changes of target tissue molecular level in vivo state.This article reviews the principles of ultrasound-based molecular imaging and its application in the evaluations of early inflammatory response,neovascularization,and vulnerable plaque in carotid atherosclerosis.
