Contrast media, also known as contrast agents, are substances used to enhance the visibility of structures or fluids within the body during medical imaging procedures. Microbubbles are a type of contrast media that are composed of a gas core surrounded by a shell of lipids or proteins. They are used in ultrasound imaging to improve the contrast between different tissues and organs. Microbubbles are also used in targeted drug delivery, as they can be loaded with drugs and targeted to specific areas of the body. Microbubbles are a rapidly growing market within the contrast media industry. They are increasingly being used in a variety of medical imaging procedures, such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Microbubbles are also being used in targeted drug delivery, as they can be loaded with drugs and targeted to specific areas of the body. Some companies in the microbubbles market include Bracco Diagnostics, Guerbet, Lantheus Medical Imaging, and SonoVue. Show Less Read more
