The development of microbubble contrast agents has broadened the scope of medical
ultrasound imaging. Along with dedicated imaging techniques, these agents provide …

Ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles have expanded the utility of biomedical ultrasound
from anatomic imaging to the assessment of microvascular blood flow characteristics and …

Nonlinear behavior of bubbles, and most importantly 1 2 1 2-order subharmonics (SH), are
used to increase the contrast-to-tissue ratio (CTR) in diagnostic ultrasound (US) and to …

Acoustic waves are dissipated when they pass through bubbly media. Dissipation by
bubbles takes place through thermal damping (Td), radiation damping (Rd), and damping …

There is a growing interest in microbubble based ultrasound contrast imaging applications
in the 5–15 MHz range. In this study, individual microbubbles were insonified at low …

Ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) are used routinely in the clinic to enhance contrast in
ultrasonography. More recently, UCAs have been functionalised by conjugating ligands to …

The effect of boundary proximity on ultrasound contrast agent microbubble emissions can
play an important role in the context of both targeted microbubble imaging and contrast …

In this paper, we assess the importance of microbubble shell composition for contrast-
enhanced imaging sequences commonly used on clinical scanners. While the gas core …

Phospholipid encapsulated microbubbles are widely employed as clinical diagnostic
ultrasound contrast agents in the 1–5 MHz range, and are increasingly employed at higher …

Many acousticians believe publishing in reputable, archival, acoustic journals is crucial to
disseminate their research. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA) is one …
