Applications of Magnetic Microbubbles for Theranostics
Theranostics, 2012 Compared with other diagnostic methods, ultrasound is proven to be a safe, simple, non-invasive and cost-effective imaging technique, but the resolution is not comparable to that of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Contrast-enhanced ultrasound employing

Nonspherical ultrasound microbubbles
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 Surface tension provides microbubbles (MB) with a perfect spherical shape. Here, we demonstrate that MB can be engineered to be nonspherical, endowing them with unique features for biomedical applications. Anisotropic MB were generated via one-dimensionally stretching spherical poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) MB above their glass transition temperature ...

A Simulation for Detecting Nonlinear Echoes from Microbubbles Packets
Archives of Acoustics, 2014 This work presents a simulation of the response of packets of microbubbles in an ultrasonic pulse-echo scan line. Rayleigh-Plesset equation has been used to predict the echo from numerically obtained radial dynamics of microbubbles. Varying the number of

Cardiovascular molecular imaging [PDF]
, 2013 Although there have been significant improvements in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases they still remain the main cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Currently available diagnostic approaches may not be adequate to detect pathologic changes

Separation of chemically modified carbon nanotubes by surfactant free microbubble generation
AIP Advances, 2020 Bubble separation is a widely used and effective method for separating solids from liquids. In this study, we propose a method to generate roughly ∼104 microbubbles/μl in an ethanol–water solution (surfactant-free) by subjecting the container of the ...
