Table 1 Characteristics of contrast agents SonoVue and Sonazoid for contrast-enhanced ultrasound

Agent	SonoVue	Sonazoid
Gas	Sulfurhexafluoride (SF₆)	Perfluorobutane (C₄F₁₀)
Envelope	Monolayer of phospholipid (DSPC, DPPG-Na)	Monolayer of phospholipid (Hydrogenated egg phosphatidyl serine Na)
MI	Low MI (< 0.1)	Intermediate MI (> 0.2)
Mean size	1.5-2.5 µm	2.3-2.9 µm
Distribution after injection	Pure blood pool agent	Blood pool agent with uptake by hepatic Kupffer cells after 1 min by injection
