The preparation of chicken ex ovo embryos and chorioallantoic membrane vessels as in vivo model for contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging and microbubble-mediated drug delivery studies

The chicken embryo and the blood-vessel rich chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is a valuable in vivo model to investigate biomedical processes, new ultrasound pulsing schemes, or novel transducers for contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging and microbubble-mediated drug delivery. The reasons for this are the accessibility of the embryo and vessel...
