Hitachi, University of Tokyo Co-develop Contrast Agent Technology for Ultra-sonic Diagnostic Equipment.Tokyo, Japan, July 19, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Hitachi's Central Research Laboratory and Schools of Engineering and Medicine, University of Tokyo “Todai” redirects here. For the restaurant called Todai, see Todai (restaurant). The University of Tokyo (東京大学 , have jointly developed a contrast agent technology for ultra-sonic diagnostic equipment. The technology transforms contrast agents made of nano-sized droplets into micron-sized bubbles that emanate em·a·nate intr. & tr.v. em·a·nat·ed, em·a·nat·ing, em·a·nates To come or send forth, as from a source: light that emanated from a lamp; a stove that emanated a steady heat. reflected signals required to obtain tumor tissue images. Unlike the existing technology that can reach only blood vessels Blood vessels Tubular channels for blood transport, of which there are three principal types: arteries, capillaries, and veins. Only the larger arteries and veins in the body bear distinct names. , the new technology based on nano-droplets can obtain information on tumor tissues selectively.
