Ultrasound provides a valuable tool for medical diagnosis offering real-time imaging with
excellent spatial resolution and low cost. The advent of microbubble contrast agents has …

Microbubbles are used as ultrasonic contrast agents that enhance the ultrasound signals of
the vascular bed. The recent development of site-targeted microbubbles opened up the …

Zero-thickness interface models are developed to describe the encapsulation of
microbubble contrast agents. Two different rheological models of the interface, Newtonian …

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 …

Acoustic super-resolution imaging has allowed the visualization of microvascular structure
and flow beyond the diffraction limit using standard clinical ultrasound systems through the …

For many years, ultrasound has provided clinicians with an affordable and effective imaging
tool for applications ranging from cardiology to obstetrics. Development of microbubble …

Bubbles can form in the body during or after decompression from pressure exposures such
as those undergone by scuba divers, astronauts, caisson and tunnel workers. Bubble growth …

The nonlinear radial oscillations of bubbles that are encapsulated in an elastic shell are
investigated numerically subject to three different constitutive laws describing the …

Recently, dual-frequency transducers have enabled high-spatial-resolution and high-
contrast imaging of vasculature with minimal tissue artifacts by transmitting at a low …

Ultrasound contrast agents consisting of gas microbubbles stabilised by a polymer or
surfactant coating have been in clinical use for several decades. Research into the …
