A joint venture of Hitachi’s Central Research Laboratory and Schools of Engineering and Medicine, University of Tokyo, led to the development of Contrast Agent Technology for ultra-sonic diagnostic equipment.



The technology works by transforming the contrast agents made of nano-sized droplets into micron-sized bubbles that emit reflected signals requisite to get tumor tissue images.



With this technology, we can get the information on blood vessels as well as tumor issues.
