Advantages
The method is an improvement over existing techniques by providing improved detection and improved specificity, especially to specific enzymes. This allows for:
- The distinction of specific cancers depending on specific enzymes.
- Detection of gene expression using ultrasound.
Detailed Description
UC San Diego inventors have created a powerful method to control aggregation of ultrasound imaging agents that enables the aggregation of imaging agents in the presence of specific enzymes, including enzymes transcribed from a reporter gene.
