3 Background-subtracted colour-coded CEU images reflecting signal from microbubbles retained in Matrigel plugs 15 min after intravenous injection of microbubbles targeted to angiogenesis.

4 Background-subtracted colour-coded CEU images reflecting retention fraction of αVβ3-targeted microbubbles in ischaemic proximal hindlimb adductor muscles from control untreated and FGF-2-treated rats immediately after ligation (day 0) and at day 4 post-iliac artery ligation.

5 CEU molecular imaging data for microbubbles targeted to activated neutrophils (A), α5-integrin (B), and VCAM-1 (C) at various time points after femoral artery ligation in mice.

6 (A) Normalized microvascular blood flow in the ischaemic muscle for untreated (filled circles) and FGF-2-treated (open circles) animals.

7 Schematic diagram of potential strategies for CEU-targeted imaging of stem/progenitor cells, such as EPCs. One strategy involves manipulation/transfection of EPCs to express a specific marker protein on their surface.
