Bubbles are present in a large variety of emerging applications, from advanced materials to
biology and medicine, as either laser-generated or acoustically driven bubbles. In these …

Microbubbles interact with ultrasound in various ways to enable their applications in
ultrasound imaging and diagnosis. To generate high contrast and maximize therapeutic …

The problem of attenuation and sound speed of bubbly media has remained partially
unsolved. Comprehensive data regarding pressure-dependent changes of the attenuation …

Collapse of lipidic ultrasound contrast agents under high-frequency compressive load has
been historically interpreted by the vanishing of surface tension. By contrast, buckling of …

Recent advances in the field of monodisperse microbubble synthesis by flow focusing allow
for the production of foam-free, highly concentrated and monodisperse lipid-coated …

It has been proposed that monodisperse microbubble ultrasound contrast agents further
increase the signal-to-noise ratio of contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging. Here, the …

We introduce a model that describes spherical oscillations of encapsulated microbubbles in
an unbounded surrounding fluid. A Rayleigh–Plesset-like equation is derived by coupling …

The bifurcation structure of the oscillations of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) was studied
as a function of the driving pressure for excitation frequencies that were determined using …

A lipid coated bubble (LCB) oscillator is a very interesting non-smooth oscillator with many
important applications ranging from industry and chemistry to medicine. However, due to the …

For successful in vivo contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging (CEUS) and ultrasound
molecular imaging, detailed knowledge of stability and acoustical properties of the …
