Thanks to Dr. Miller for asking about this. As Erin indicates, the description has been modified and was based on a discussion I had with Len Greenbaum. The original wording was taken from a Sound Waves article but had to be edited to fit the character limit here. However, Dr. Abramowicz is likely correct in his suggestion about the reasoning for the "legal" term. As we all know there are implications associated with off-label use and any promotion there of. This is a likely origin for such wording. However, we think the revised wording reflects the interest of the community involved here. Thanks to you both for your dialogue on this.

I suspect "illegal" contrast refers to non-FDA approved. That would make the contrast agent "illegal" in the USA, although this is obviously not the correct term.
