Clinical applications include intravascular ultrasound imaging ofcoronary arteries, perfusion imaging, assessment of blood flow, detection ofthrombi, and detection of tumors or other disease. The latest advances inmolecular imaging in ultrasound will be presented, as well as the contributionof ultrasound to molecular imaging compared to other imaging modalities(positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, computedtomography, and optical imaging). How ultrasound molecular imaging techniqueswill be exploited in therapeutic interventions will also be presented.8:15 AM–8:35 AM Introduction: Role of Ultrasound in Molecular ImagingRobert Mattrey, MD8:35 AM–8:55 AM Molecular Imaging of Mice With High-FrequencyMicro-UltrasoundF.
