Ultrasound (US) is one of the most frequently used diagnostic methods. It is a non-invasive,
comparably inexpensive imaging method with a broad spectrum of applications, which can …

Microbubbles are increasingly being used in biomedical applications such as ultrasonic
imaging and targeted drug delivery. Microbubbles typically range from 0.1 to 10 µm in size …

A model for the oscillation of gas bubbles encapsulated in a thin shell has been developed.
The model depends on viscous and elastic properties of the shell, described by thickness …

Abstract Gorce JM, Arditi M, Schneider M. Influence of bubble size distribution on the
echogenicity of ultrasound contrast agents: A study of SonoVue™. Invest Radiol 2000; 35 …

Ultrasound contrast agents provide new opportunities to image vascular volume and flow
rate directly. To accomplish this goal, new pulse sequences can be developed to detect …

Contrast agents for medical ultrasound imaging is a field of growing interest. A large amount
of literature has been published on the medical applications of such contrast agents …

The objective of the current work is to describe the physicochemical characteristics of
Sonazoid™, a new ultrasound contrast agent for detection and characterisation of focal liver …

Background—We have previously shown that microbubbles adhere to leukocytes in regions
of inflammation. We hypothesized that these microbubbles are phagocytosed by neutrophils …

Existing theoretical models do not adequately describe the scatter and attenuation
properties of the ultrasound contrast agents Quantison™ and Myomap™. An adapted …

This paper discusses various interactions between ultrasound, phospholipid monolayer-
coated gas bubbles, phospholipid bilayer vesicles, and cells. The paper begins with a …
