Continued advances in the field of ultrasound and ultrasound contrast agents have created
new approaches to imaging and medical intervention. Phase-shift perfluorocarbon droplets …

Superheated nanodrops are a new class of submicron-diameter liquid emulsion particles
comprising perfluoropropane (C 3 F 8), perfluorobutane (C 4 F 10) and perfluoropentane (C …

Objective: Super-resolution ultrasound (SRUS) imaging through localizing and tracking
microbubbles, also known as ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM), can produce sub …

Ultrasound Contrast Agents (UCAs) consisting of gas-filled-coated Microbubbles (MBs) with
diameters between 1 and 10 µm have been used for a number of decades in diagnostic …

Phase-shift perfluorocarbon droplets have been investigated for over 20 years as pre-
clinical ultrasound contrast agents with distinctive advantages in imaging and therapy. A …

Perfusion by the microcirculation is key to the development, maintenance and pathology of
tissue. Its measurement with high spatiotemporal resolution is consequently valuable but …

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

Acoustic cavitation can be used to temporarily disrupt cell membranes for intracellular
delivery of large biomolecules. Termed sonoporation, the ability of this technique for efficient …

Regenerative processes, such as angiogenesis and osteogenesis, often require multiple
growth factors with distinct spatiotemporal patterns and expression sequences. Within tissue …

Submicron phase-change droplets are an emerging class of ultrasound contrast agent.
Compared with microbubbles, their relatively small size and increased stability offer the …
