Echocardiography
January 1997
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how temperature influences the stability of two contrast agents, Albunex and FS069, by examining their reflective properties under high dose ultrasound.
- The experimental setup involved using a latex balloon in a water tank, with varying temperatures (8°C, 22°C, 37°C) and ultrasound power levels (0, 20, 25, 30 dB) to assess changes in video intensity over time.
- Results showed that higher temperatures improved contrast enhancement, while a significant decrease in intensity over time was more evident in Albunex compared to FS069, highlighting the need for temperature control to maintain consistency in contrast enhancement.
