Ultrasound contrast agent developer Sonus Pharmaceuticals reported $3 million in net income for the fourth quarter of 1999 (end-December), due primarily to a second $5 million licensing payment from Nycomed Amersham.

Sonus is currently awaiting FDA clearance for EchoGen, its first ultrasound contrast agent, which the company already sells in Europe.
