Pulse-inversion mode imaging of liver specific microbubbles: improved detection of subcentimetre metastases.

Abstract
Pulse-inversion mode (a new ultrasound mode) can be used to image the late liver-specific parenchymal phase of the microbubble contrast-agent Levovist. Scanning in pulse-inversion mode after Levovist improves the detection of liver metastases and reveals more lesions of smaller size than conventional ultrasonography and computed tomography.
