Acusphere is a contrast imaging company focused on developing an ultrasound contrast agent. Ultrasound is a powerful and relatively inexpensive, and non-invasive imaging technology. However, it is limited in its ability to evaluate and characterize blood flow and tissue perfusion. As a result, more expensive or invasive imaging technologies must be used. A recent Hambrecht & Quist report estimated that the market for an I.V.-administered ultrasound contrast agent is $1 billion. Other potential applications for Acusphere1s technology include MRI and CT blood pool agents and various drug delivery systems.
