Acoustically-Stimulated Nanobubbles: Opportunities in Medical Ultrasound Imaging and Therapy

Medical ultrasound is one of the most widely used imaging modalities worldwide. Microbubbles, typically ~1–8 μm in diameter, are ultrasound contrast agents confined to the vasculature due to their size. Microbubbles have broadened the scope of medical ultrasound, permitting real-time imaging of the...
