IRT member hosts Boulder Summer School on Ultrasound Contrast Agents

The program was funded through the Imaging Science Interdisciplinary Research 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 ²ÊÃñ±¦µä 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.
