Ultrasound (US) contrast agents consist of microbubbles ranging from 1 to 10 μm in size. The acoustical response of individual microbubbles can be studied with high-frame-rate optics or an "acoustical camera"(AC). The AC measures the relative microbubble oscillation while the ...
Monodisperse microbubble ultrasound contrast agents may dramatically increase the sensitivity and efficiency in ultrasound imaging and therapy. They can be produced directly in a microfluidic flow-focusing device, but questions remain as to the interfacial chemistry, such as t ...
Uniform scattering and attenuation of acoustically sorted ultrasound contrast agents
Modeling and experiments
The sensitivity and efficiency in contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging and therapy can potentially be increased by the use of resonant monodisperse bubbles. However, bubbles of the same size may respond differently to ultrasound due to differences in their phospholipid shell. ...
