Ultrasound Imaging of Breast Cancer

Abstract

The synthesis of the final target probe compound has been accomplished on a scale that should be large enough for initial biological testing. While attempts to finalize an in vitro cell culture assay for enhancement of ultrasound images are still ongoing, we have been able to generate spheroids with our experimental cell lines, perfect our gel matrix for in vitro testing, and detect our cells in this system using a commercially available contrast agent, perfluoro-octyl bromine (PFOB) as a standard.
