Phase change contrast agents (PCCAs) have been studied in the medical ultrasound field
for nearly three decades. Their ability to convert from a liquid core droplet to an acoustically …

Laser-activated perfluorocarbon nanodroplets (PFCnDs) are emerging phase-change
contrast agents that showed promising potential in ultrasound and photoacoustic (US/PA) …

Intense noise poses a threat to spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the inner ear, often
resulting in limited axonal regeneration during noise injury and leading to noise-induced …

Polydopamine-shelled perfluorocarbon (PDA/PFC) emulsion droplets are promising
candidates for medical imaging and drug delivery applications. This study investigates their …

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging allows vascular imaging in a variety of diseases.
Radial modulation imaging is a contrast agent-specific imaging approach for improving …

Longitudinal-to-shear wave mode conversion that occurs at the interface between elastic
bone and tissues can be used for aberration reduction by intentionally increasing the …

Large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke, in which major cerebral arteries such as the internal
carotid and middle cerebral arteries supplying the brain are occluded, is the most …

Ultrasound has important applications, predominantly in the field of diagnostic imaging.
Presently, colloidal systems such as microbubbles, phase-change emulsion droplets and …

In applications such as liver or transcranial imaging, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)
imaging is challenged by high levels of patient-specific attenuation and physiological …

Nanoscale low boiling point phase-change contrast agents (PCCA) have been
demonstrated as a useful tool for ultrasound-mediated transcranial therapy. Due to the low …
