摘要：
A system and method that uses receptor-targeted microbubbles to locate abnormal cell tissue for therapy is disclosed. The method includes applying receptor-targeted microbubbles to abnormal cell tissue； imaging the applied microbubbles using an imaging system； and locating the abnormal cell tissue using the imaged, applied microbubbles, wherein the imaging system detects and 5 transmits imaging information of the applied microbubbles through a gaseous environment, i.e., a non-contact procedure. Embodiments of the system and method combine the targeting of microbubbles to abnormal cell tissue and an imaging system, the combination of which is capable of accurately and rapidly assessing the surgical margin for presence of unseen cancer in, for example, the operating room, at bedside, or in an 10 office, within or outside the body.
