Key points from article :
Technique takes advantage of how high-frequency ultrasound waves interact with tiny gas-filled bubbles about 2 micrometres in diameter.
Allows doctors to image organs deep in the body in microscopic detail – pixels about the size of a red blood cell.
Other techniques make compromise between clarity, speed and organ depth.
Could help understand diseases that modify blood-vessel systems, e.g. diagnose what stage a cancer is at and better understanding of stroke.
The study was published in the Nature journal.
