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 …

Purpose To study the feasibility of high-frame-rate (HFR) contrast material–enhanced (CE)
ultrasound particle image velocimetry (PIV), or echo PIV, in the abdominal aorta. Materials …

Mechanical effects of microbubbles on tissues are central to many emerging ultrasound
applications. Here, we investigated the acoustic radiation force a microbubble exerts on …

Ultrasound contrast agent (UCA) imaging provides a cost-effective diagnostic tool to assess
tissue perfusion and vascular pathologies. However, excessive transmission (TX) levels may …

Ultrasound and microbubble induced blood-brain barrier opening has shown success in
clinical trials as a promising method to deliver drugs to the brain. Shelled gas bubbles, a few …

The advantages of using ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) with monodisperse size
distribution have been highlighted. Characterized by a coefficient of variation (CV) lower …

(Advisor); Tabeling, Patrick (Co-advisor). Lyophilized microfluidic monodisperse …

Aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) is a form of peripheral arterial disease in the distal aorta
and iliac arteries. The prevalence of AIOD increases with age, although the majority of …

Linear PID and nonlinear sliding mode controllers are developed and applied to a spherical
model of a contrast agent microbubble that describes its radial response to ultrasound input …

Theranostics is a term that refers to the combination of therapy and diagnostics so that for
example the same particle can both be used for finding a tumour and deliver drugs to treat it …
