After the protocol-related indecisive clinical trial of Oxygent, a perfluorooctylbromide/
phospholipid nanoemulsion, in cardiac surgery, that often unduly assigned the observed …

This review focuses on phase‐shift perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions whose action depends
on an ultrasound‐triggered phase shift from a liquid to gas state. For drug‐loaded …

Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs and is a
popular research tool due to the inherent fluorescence of the DOX molecule. After DOX …

Recent efforts in the area of acoustic droplet vaporization with the objective of designing
extravascular ultrasound contrast agents has led to the development of stabilized, lipid …

Recently, an interest has developed in designing biomaterials for medical ultrasonics that
can provide the acoustic activity of microbubbles, but with improved stability in vivo and a …

Phase-change contrast agents (PCCAs) for ultrasound-based applications have resulted in
novel ways of approaching diagnostic and therapeutic techniques beyond what is possible …

This paper describes a simple microfluidic sorting system that can perform size profiling and
continuous mass-dependent separation of particles through combined use of gravity (1 g) …

Currently available microbubbles used for ultrasound imaging and therapeutics are limited
to intravascular space due to their size distribution in the micron range. Phase-change …

The vaporization of a superheated droplet emulsion into gas bubbles using ultrasound-
termed acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV)-has potential therapeutic applications in …

This paper examines the vaporization of individual dodecafluoropentane droplets by the
application of single ultrasonic tone bursts. High speed video microscopy was used to …
