Phospholipid encapsulated microbubbles are widely employed as clinical diagnostic
ultrasound contrast agents in the 1–5 MHz range, and are increasingly employed at higher …

There are a range of contrast ultrasound applications above 10 MHz, a frequency regime in
which nonlinear microbubble behavior is poorly understood. Lipid-encapsulated …

Phospholipid encapsulated ultrasound contrast agents have proven to be a powerful
addition in diagnostic imaging and show emerging applications in targeted therapy due to …

The acoustic response of phospholipid-coated microbubble ultrasound contrast agents
(UCA) is dramatically affected by their stabilizing shell. The interfacial shell elasticity …

The effect of variations in microbubble shell composition on microbubble resonance
frequency is revealed through experiment. These variations are achieved by altering the …

We present the first study of the effects of monolayer shell physicochemical properties on the
destruction of lipid-coated microbubbles during insonification with single, one-cycle pulses …

Correct measurement of the shell properties of coated microbubbles (MBs) is essential to
understanding and optimizing their response to ultrasound (US) exposure parameters in …

A linear relationship between the relative expansion of an off-resonance ultrasound contrast
microbubble and low acoustic pressures is expected. In this study, high-speed optical …

While it has been established that nonlinear oscillations of lipid encapsulated microbubbles
occur at frequencies of> 10 MHz, the understanding of bubble behavior in this frequency …

Ultrasound contrast agents are widely used in clinical practice. Commercial lipid-coated
microbubbles mainly consist of either DSPC or DPPC. Previous research on homemade …
