Abstract :
We could obtain ultrasonic velocity change images of Au nano-particles in the two phantoms which ware made of highly optical scattering ager and the chicken breast meet by using the remodeled diagnostic ultrasound equipment. All experimental results suggested that our imaging method could be applied to a practical monitor for the thermal therapy and the drug delivery system (DDS), and could be applied to biomaterial identification.
