The invention pertains to an echolucent image enhancing hydrophobic, water-immiscible composition, wherein thecomposition turns echogenic when foamed with air or gas bubbles formed frommechanically inserting (i) air or gas; or (ii) aqueoussolution with air or gas into the hydrophobic, water-immiscible composition.The invention also pertains to a foamed echogenic imageenhancing hydrophobic, water-immiscible composition and optionally comprisingaqueous solution forming a single-phase, saidcomposition comprising air or gas bubbles retained in the composition, andwherein the volume ratio of aqueous solution: hydrophobic,water-immiscible composition is preferably in the range of between 0: 100(i.e. no aqueous solution) and 75:25, preferably between0: 100 and 60:40.
