Targeted contrast-enhanced ultrasound (molecular ultrasound) is an emerging imaging
strategy that combines ultrasound technology with novel molecularly-targeted ultrasound …

Microbubbles are used as ultrasonic contrast agents that enhance the ultrasound signals of
the vascular bed. The recent development of site-targeted microbubbles opened up the …

The contrast agent Definity™ has recently been shown to have substantial nonlinear activity
at high ultrasound frequencies (> 10 MHz). In this study, measurements were performed to …

We have discovered that ultrasound-mediated microbubble vascular disruption can
enhance tumor responses to radiation in vivo. We demonstrate this effect using a human …

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

The main goal of this study was to determine the optimal strategy for a real-time nonlinear
contrast mode for small-animal imaging at high frequencies, on a new array-based micro …

Acoustically excited microbubbles (MBs) have shown to exhibit rich dynamics, enabling
them to be employed in various applications ranging from chemistry to medicine. Exploiting …

The feasibility of subharmonic contrast intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging was
investigated using a prototype nonlinear IVUS system and the commercial contrast agent …

For many years, ultrasound has provided clinicians with an affordable and effective imaging
tool for applications ranging from cardiology to obstetrics. Development of microbubble …

High-frequency microultrasound imaging of tumor progression in mice enables noninvasive
anatomic and functional imaging at excellent spatial and temporal resolution, although …
