ABSTRACT:
Ultrasonic contrast compositions containing gas or air filled microballoons having a mean size in the range of 0.5 to 1000 microns bounded by a 50 to 500 nm thick biodegradable, interfacially deposited, synthetic polymer membrane which is deformable and resilient in an aqueous carrier liquid are described.
