Abstract

Contrast echocardiography is an important technique that can be used to examine the cardiac cavity, vascular structure, intracardiac shunt, and myocardial microcirculation. It uses gas-filled microbubbles and various imaging techniques. The properties of microbubbles and their interaction with ultrasound are important in ultrasound-enhanced contrast imaging. This article will describe microbubble physics and new ultrasound techniques that are necessary to understand the basics of contrast echocardiography. The utility of contrast echocardiography in various clinical scenarios will be also described.
