It is new development could be a fantastic breakthrough in the medical field if it does come to fruition fully.  Scientists have been carrying out tests on rats that produce high-resolution images of the entire blood vessel network inside a tiny rat’s brain with the use of ultrasound.
The way the researchers carried out the procedure involved injecting the mice with millions of tiny bubbles, then by using high-frequency ultrasound waves that were emitted through the rat’s skin to cause a reflection that scatters the ultrasound waves.  The way in which the scientists managed to achieve such a high resolution was by scanning at an extremely high rate (around 500 frames per second).
