Ultrasound Molecular Imaging of Tumor Angiogenesis With an Integrin Targeted Microbubble Contrast Agent

Abstract

The results demonstrate the functionality of a novel MB contrast agent covalently coupled to an RGD peptide for ultrasound molecular imaging of αvβ3 integrin and the feasibility of quantitative molecular ultrasound imaging with a low MI.
