An ultrasound contrast medium containing microparticles and gas bubbles is described, which is characterized in that it contains microparticles of a solid, surface-active substance, optionally in combination with microparticles of a non-surface-active solid in a liquid carrier. It allows contrast imaging of the left heart, the myocardium and other organs such as the liver, spleen, kidney and right heart in ultrasound recordings after intravenous application. |
