Perflubutane (Cat.No:I034442) is a fluorocarbon compound used as an ultrasound contrast agent. It consists of perfluorobutane gas encapsulated within microbubbles. Perflubutane enhances the visibility of blood vessels and improves the accuracy of ultrasound imaging, particularly in the liver. It is a valuable tool for diagnostic purposes, aiding in the detection of certain medical conditions.
