Initial reports from the 1960s describing the observations of ultrasound contrast
enhancement by tiny gaseous bubbles during echocardiographic examinations prompted …

Ultrasound is extensively used in medical imaging, being safe and inexpensive and
operating in real time. Its scope of applications has been widely broadened by the use of …

Ultrasound contrast agents are valuable in diagnostic ultrasound imaging, and they
increasingly show potential for drug delivery. This review focuses on the acoustic behavior …

Single-shot ultrafast optical imaging can capture two-dimensional transient scenes in the
optical spectral range at≥ 100 million frames per second. This rapidly evolving field …

We present a model applicable to ultrasound contrast agent bubbles that takes into account
the physical properties of a lipid monolayer coating on a gas microbubble. Three parameters …

Ultrasound contrast microbubbles have the ability to enhance endothelial cell permeability
and thus may be used as a new way to deliver drugs. It facilitates the transfer of extracellular …

The fluid dynamic interaction of cavitation bubbles with adherent cells on a substrate is
experimentally investigated. We find that the nonspherical collapse of bubbles near to the …

For centuries, bubbles have fascinated artists, engineers, and scientists alike. In spite of
century-long research on them, new and often surprising bubble phenomena, features, and …

This review presents recent technological advances in charge-coupled-device ultrahigh-
speed video cameras and their applications in experimental fluid mechanics. Following a …

A new optical characterization of the behavior of single ultrasound contrast bubbles is
presented. The method consists of insonifying individual bubbles several times successively …
