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

The development of phase-shift droplets has broadened the scope of ultrasound-based
biomedical applications. When subjected to sufficient acoustic pressures, the …

Active tumor penetration has been recently recognized as a promising strategy to resolve
the limitation of nanomedicine in terms of tumor penetration, but it is challenging to develop …

Perfluorocarbon nanodroplets (PFCnDs) are sub-micrometer emulsions composed of a
surfactant-encased perfluorocarbon (PFC) liquid and can be formulated to transiently …

Abstract Acoustically-responsive scaffolds (ARSs), which are fibrin hydrogels containing
monodispersed perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsions, respond to ultrasound in an on-demand …

A combination of ultrahigh-speed optical imaging (5× 10 6 frames/s), B-mode ultrasound
and passive cavitation detection was used to study the vaporization process and determine …

A numerical model is presented for the acoustic vaporization threshold of a
dodecafluoropentane (or perfluoropentane) microdroplet. The model is based on the …

Acoustic nanodrops are designed to vaporize into ultrasound-responsive microbubbles,
which present certain challenges nonexistent for conventional nanoemulsions. The …

Superheated perfluorocarbon nanodroplets are emerging ultrasound imaging contrast
agents that boast biocompatible components, unique phase-change dynamics, and …

In acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV), a cavitated bubble grows and collapses depending
on the pressure amplitude of the acoustic pulse. During the bubble collapse, the …
