The current study was designed to provide a sensitive in vivo model to maximize the potential bioeffects (measured by hemolysis) of B-mode ultrasound energy in combination with FS069 (Optison). B-mode ultrasound energy was delivered to anesthetized male New Zealand white rabbits with a phased array 5 MHz transducer on a Hewlett-Packard Sonos 1500 ultrasonograph, with transmit level set to maximum (40 dB, approx 135 W/cm2). FS069 (Optison), latex particles in human albumin, or human albumin alone (vehicle) was infused via an ear vein at 0.6 mL/kg. No statistically significant changes were noted in serum free hemoglobin or lactate dehydrogenase either over time or between groups.
