Current improvements in nano/micro products and associated characterization approaches enable the design of a new kind of ultrasound contrast representatives (UCAs) with enhanced multifunctional behaviour. This is chance is also supported by the current achievements in modelling and signal processing. This book provides the state of art of the research study activity of two successful European tasks, TAMIRUT and SIGHT, dealing with an integrated system, incorporating the contrast representative, the hardware equipment and the processing strategies, as an essential tool for a combined diagnostic and therapeutic approaches (theranostics) in medical ultrasound. The work offers a highlight of the state of art in the research study of unique ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs). Main progresses on the multifunctional elements of next-generation UCAs concern targeting and drug release homes, perfusion and biointerface behaviour, ultrasound scattering performance, signal processing, electronic devices.
