Initial reports from the 1960s describing the observations of ultrasound contrast
enhancement by tiny gaseous bubbles during echocardiographic examinations prompted …

Microbubbles (MBs) were observed for the first time in vivo as a curious consequence of
quick saline injection during ultrasound (US) imaging of the aortic root, more than 50 years …

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 …

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 …

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

Porphyrin–phospholipid conjugates were used to create photonic microbubbles (MBs)
having a porphyrin shell (“porshe”), and their acoustic and photoacoustic properties were …

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 …

Rationale and Objectives: During echo examinations with microbubble contrast, individual
“dots” of ultrasound reflection can be visualized. To address the question whether these …

Two nonlinear interfacial elasticity models—interfacial elasticity decreasing linearly and
exponentially with area fraction—are developed for the encapsulation of contrast …
