IRT member hosts 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó Summer School on Ultrasound Contrast Agents

The program was funded through the Imaging Science Interdisciplinary 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó Theme and IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society. Microbubbles and other echogenic colloids are used in biomedical ultrasonics as contrast agents, molecular imaging probes and targeted drug delivery vehicles. Professor Mark Borden hosted the summer school, and CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó Instructors included Professors Todd Murray and Andrew Goodwin. In addition to lectures, practical laboratory sessions were held for hands-on demonstrations of microbubble synthesis and characterization.
