• Resumen

  • The new ultrasound technique allows doctors to image organs deep in the body in microscopic detail for the first time, and will aid the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as cancer and strokes. The resolution we can reach when imaging organs is limited, and compromises have to be made between clarity, speed and how deep inside the body they try to look. But tiny gas-filled bubbles about 2 micrometers in diameter can give a clear view of deep tissues in close to real time.
