The present invention is directed to a system and method for echogenically enhancing a target site within a patient during a medical procedure. The system includes an imaging system having a display for viewing the target site, a plurality of metallic particles configured to selectively target and bind to one or more locations at the target site, and a delivery mechanism for delivering the plurality of metallic particles into the patient towards the target site. As such, the method includes delivering, via the delivery mechanism, the plurality of metallic particles into the patient and allowing the metallic particles to selectively target and bind to the target site. The method also includes viewing, via a display of an imaging system, the target site with the plurality of metallic particles bound thereto.
