Patent

CA 2435395

Methods and devices for enhanced ultrasound detection based upon changing temperature and ultrasound reflectivity of a temperature-dependent contrast agent bound to an ultrasound target are disclosed. The methods and devices can be used for enhanced imaging alone or in conjunction with drug delivery, with therapeutic approaches such as hyperthermia or cryotherapy or with other imaging modalities.

L'invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs de détection améliorée par ultrasons, basés sur la modification de la température et sur la réflectivité ultrasonique d'une substance de contraste sensible à la température liée à une cible ultrasonore. Les procédés et dispositifs de l'invention peuvent être utilisés pour obtenir des images accentuées, seuls ou en association avec l'administration de médicaments, dans des approches thérapeutiques comme l'hyperthermie ou la cryothérapie, ou avec d'autres modalités d'imagerie.
